Brother to owner's Arkle winner Western Warhorse; not beaten far in any of his three bumpers but made low-key hurdle debut when well-held seventh at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month and will almost certainly need to improve.

3rd Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Wide-margin winner of a Fakenham maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) last December; failed to complete next time and hung right back at Fakenham (2m4f, soft) when last seen in February; mark a little stiff based on what he's achieved and has yet to produce his best when fresh. |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Showed significant improvement when leading for much of the way to win readily in a C&D maiden hurdle (soft) last December; hung badly right and was pulled up at Plumpton since; bit to prove after that, especially going left-handed again but he may be able to bounce back. |

OR: —
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Dedigout; shaped with significant promise before fading into ninth in good bumper at 2022 Punchestown festival and looked set to win an Irish point before last-fence fall the following November; bought for £57,000 just over a year ago; hooded for today's stable debut; will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting.

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Ground it out from the front over 3m at Southwell (good) and the shorter trip of 2m6f on a tighter track perhaps found him out at Stratford since; still lightly raced and unlikely that he's handicapped out of it (6lb above his win). |
8/1 |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Came good at the third time of asking in handicaps when seeing out the step up to 3m well on the better ground at Southwell (good) last month; 6lb rise looks manageable but more of a concern would be the drop back in distance around this sharper track; respected nonetheless. |

Close second on Irish point debut in May but a well-beaten outsider on both hurdling starts this autumn (2m5f/2m3f); tongue-tie added here.

19th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
11-race maiden over hurdles but has made the frame in all four starts at this track; tailed off at Fontwell recently following a four-month break but the return to this track could see her back to her best. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ran game race from the front when close third of six at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in June but we haven't seen her again since and she's 0-10 over hurdles now; others appeal more. |

5th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Placed twice in Irish points but he was disappointing favourite on hurdling debut last December and finished a well-held fourth again at Leicester (2m4f, soft) the following month; still early days under rules and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation on comeback. |

31st Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |

Placed twice in Irish points; jumping lacked fluency and he proved a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m4f, soft) for new stable but losing a shoe didn't help; open to improvement. |

A three-time 2m winner in 2023 who recorded another solid effort when fourth of 14 to Duke Of Oxford over C&D 16 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

Can throw in the odd shocker but she's won three times in 2m handicaps this year, notably when coming from off the pace to score at York in September off 4lb lower; each-way claims on a good day. |

Placed in Cork bumper for Jessica Harrington last year and subsequently showed fair Flat form for that stable but his two hurdle runs in June (2m2f/2m4f) were underwhelming and he was sold for 8,500gns after a poor Flat run later that month.
