0-8 over hurdles when trained in Ireland and 0-3 in Britain for Helen Nelmes this spring but makes his debut for Dan Skelton from a workable mark and will be feared if strong in the betting.

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Justified strong market support when winning very cosily on recent stable debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm) and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 7lb penalty here; obvious contender. |

11st 9lb |
Ran well above his Irish hurdles form when fourth of 14 on stable debut in a Taunton novice hurdle (2m1f, soft; 250-1) last month, but an 11lb rise for that looked harsh in view of his effort in a Hereford handicap (2m, good) 13 days ago; 5lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

Made the frame over C&D (good to firm/good) on first two hurdling starts (both in July) and made all for clearcut Flat success on latest outing 17 days ago; evidently in prime form; major player on handicap hurdle debut.

Good start for new yard, making all and drawing clear at Lingfield (1m5f, good) and he ran up against a big improver on handicap hurdle debut at Bangor recently; trip query over new trip on pedigree but it's worth a go. |

Signed off for Mick Channon with three consecutive seconds in the spring (1m4f-1m6f) and has made the frame in juvenile hurdles on both starts for Sheena West this summer; reverts to this code on a workable mark and can make his presence felt again. |

Not seen over hurdles since respectable fifth of 11 on handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June last year and has regressed on the Flat in the meantime (albeit won off much reduced mark in June); others have much more appealing profiles.

10st 0lb |
Best known for his AW work and was having a rare turf run when popping up at a big price off 2lb lower last month; no joy in last two runs but he ran into trouble at Wolverhampton and a tactical race at 1m6f was not ideal at Yarmouth last time; now returns to 1m4f on Polytrack and he's in the mix. |

Unable to land any sort of blow in two maiden hurdles for Ali Stronge in January and displayed only a glimmer of promise when well-held sixth over C&D (good) for new stable last month; improvement needed on handicap debut.

Low-mileage 8yo who returned from one-year absence with 6l win on stable/handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) in September; not much went to plan on next two outings (finished lame/saddle slipped) and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but, nevertheless, he may still have potential.

Scored on stable/handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) last September following wind surgery and 12-month absence; finished lame when down the field at Market Rasen later that month; hasn't been seen since and tongue-tie now applied; may be worth a look in the betting. |

Unexposed 5yo who belied 40-1 odds when placed at Market Rasen (2m, good) on handicap debut in May but she's been well held since; pedigree suggests she'll be suited by this longer trip and down a further 3lb but she now has questions to answer. |
