Lightly raced 8yo; it was his first real blip when midfield in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham but the stable was under a cloud then and his previous fourth in the 2m Betfair Hurdle was eyecatching, especially with a view to his potential over this far; very interesting. |

8yo but just six races; won the first four and finishing second at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) in December was a solid introduction to handicaps; 18-1 for a top handicap at Newbury (2m, heavy) last month and, having tried to settle him out the back, his late progress into fourth of 21 caught the eye, despite hanging left; stable form is the big worry but, off the same mark as last time and back up in trip, having run away with a 2m5f novice in 2021, he should have a big shout. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Took nine attempts to get off the mark over hurdles but did so with very smooth success in Warwick maiden (2m3f, good) in May and has strong claims here. |
5/4 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Punchestown bumper winner for Niall Madden in June 2023; highly tried on first three starts for Willie Mullins, running out in the Greatwood on first occasion before creditable sixth at Ascot in December (1m7f, good); bit disappointing when second in a Ballinrobe handicap last time (2m6f, soft; set plenty to do); strong contender in this maiden. |

Bids for a hat-trick, having recorded ready wins at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) and Kempton (2m, good to soft) the last twice; improving sort who has possibilities despite going up in grade off a sterner mark.

22nd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Three wins (good to soft/heavy) from his ten hurdle starts for the now-retired Victor Dartnall and he bolted up at Newbury (2m, good) on recent stable debut; back up in grade today but a 7lb rise could have been worse and he's one to consider. |

7th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time hurdles winner for the now-retired Victor Dartnall; struggled in major handicap on last appearance; returns to a suitable level on debut for new yard but is lumbered with top weight. |

11th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Looked one to follow when winning two in a row in December (1m7f/2m, heavy/good to soft) and this hold-up horse should have the race run to suit today; didn't run badly at Chepstow (2m, good) a fortnight ago, when back from a break, but needs a bigger performance here. |

Has low mileage; off the mark at Galway (2m, soft) in September; disappointing in two British races (2m5f/2m3f, wore hood) since but may fare better back down in trip with headgear removed; by no means fully exposed.

11st 2lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; won Galway maiden last September (soft) but disappointing in four runs in Britain since, early faller in Scottish Champion (Handicap) Hurdle latest; questions to answer. |

Low-mileage 6yo; off the mark at Galway (2m, soft) last September but disappointing in three British races, pulled up in the Betfair Hurdle on latest; hard to recommend from 8lb out of the handicap. |

Acts on soft; front-running novice hurdler who has a solid record this term, with close second at Exeter flanked by wins at Chepstow (handicap/novice); new mark and sharp rise in class make for a tougher assignment but he's improving.

Very progressive over hurdles last season, collecting three wins (2m-2m3f) along the way; will need to hit the ground running to overcome current mark on seasonal/chase debut but still enters calculations. |
