Looked a class better than his rivals when opening his account in good style in 15-runner contest at Southwell (20.4f) 9 days ago. Open to further improvement, and can follow up under a penalty.
Placed all 4 outings in handicap hurdles, including in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (16.5f, good) in October. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations on return.
Maiden Irish pointer who possibly needed the run when 32¼ lengths fourth of 11 in novice at Cartmel last month but improvement needed even so.
Fairly useful on Flat. Suited by the drop back to 2m and posted an improved effort over hurdles when 19 lengths second at Newton Abbot in January. Flat ability provides hope he can build on that.
Failed to complete in 4 points. Showed a bit on Warwick hurdling bow in May but has failed to repeat that effort since, including on handicap debut at Exeter last time. Returns with enough to prove.
Maiden pointer who is yet to show much under Rules, knocked over by another runner at the first on Bangor chasing debut last month.
Modest maiden on Flat and no impact in 3 juvenile hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
Fair level of ability over hurdles in Ireland and in process of running best race for current yard when falling 2 out (in share of third) at Uttoxeter in May 2019. Well beaten subsequently, though.

No Regrets (11/10), Fibonacci (2/1), Coby Nine (9/2), Galardo (12/1), Azari (14/1), Espressino (18/1), Road To Reward (20/1), Delta Bravo (33/1), Rathnure Ranger (50/1), Freedom Chimes (50/1)
NO REGRETS looked a class better than his rivals when opening his account at Southwell recently, so he should prove up to defying a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Fibonacci is an underachiever so far over hurdles but his Flat ability still provides hope for better. Coby Nine ran well on both his starts for his new yard last autumn, and also warrants respect.
