Thought good enough to come to York in the spring to contest a 1m4f handicap. Won at Haydock in September last season. Respected on hurdling debut with first-time tongue-tie.
Stablemate of Cymro, well beaten and no impression in two maiden hurdle starts so far. Placed in the King George at last years Royal Ascvot when fourth of 16.
No doubt hopes were high back in November/December 2012 when this 11-year-old made his bumper debut. Probably best watched on hurdling debut and return from a long absence.
Well beaten in three handicap hurdles so far. Won't mind the going, the distance or the size of fild, but the handicapper is yet to relent.
Beaten a total of 182L on three starts, in a point-to-point, in a bumper and when eighth of nine in a maiden hurdle. Second start for Yard.
Point-to-point winner in May, but has not transferred that form in to bumpers, including a 21L defeat last time out, earlier this month.
Beaten 64L here in a maiden hurdle last month when last of 10, while last months performance at the Galway festival was even worse.
Belated debut for the son of Well Made. Trainer is 0/19 for the season, including 0/13 with his hurdlers. Best watched on debut.
Poor in two points and well beaten no impression on hurdling debut in Cork maiden in May and one passed over.
Disappointing on seasonal debut when last of 13, beaten 44L in 1m1f Tipperary handicap, last of nine on most recent start.
A representative of J P McManus, but poor on both starts to date, when well beaten in fields of this size.
Stayed on nicely to take third at Cork, but blotted the copy book with a poor run at Kilbeggan.
Sire Arakan, was a smart 6-8f performer at three-years-old to five. From good family, jumps progeny include multiple winners, Formidableopponent, Swaledale Lad and Vosne Romanee. Will come on for debut run at Newton Abbott.
Gelding of Yeats, who was exceptional stayer, four-time Ascot Gold Cup and promising jumps sire and well related to Holly Bush Henry and The West Awake. Beaten 68L on debut.
Daughter of Yeats, disappointing on debut at Cork finishing 35L behind the winner. Will come on for the run though, given her powerful yard.
Needs to improve on disappointing 36L defeat in Cork maiden hurdle, earlier this month, when never nearer 10th of 23.
Beaten 112L on bumper debut, 23rd of 24 in May, before a better performance, but still well beaten at Limerick last month.
