Sole win came at Southwell in May 2022 and has made the frame on each completed outing since, excellent third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 37 days ago. Player.
|
Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France. Changed hands for €30,000 in November 2022 but has shown little for her new yard after a 13-month absence.
|
Much improved sent handicapping this season, winning in the mud at Ffos Las and Leicester last month. Beaten on hat-trick bid at Southwell but still ran well and big shout once more. Engaged Haydock 12.15 Saturday.
|
Won Stratford selling hurdle in April (final start for Olly Murphy) and fair fourth in a handicap hurdle there for new stable 3 weeks later. However, last month's reappearance/chase debut in a first-time hood at Market Rasen was anything but encouraging.
|
Showed improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 35 days ago. On the upgrade and not taken lightly despite a 6 lb rise.
|
Much improved since sent handicapping in cheekpieces and he got off the mark at Market Rasen (23f) last month, despite making some mistakes. Up 3 lb but he can do better still. Big shout.
|
Went close in 3m mares' handicap at Taunton in April but well held all three starts this term. Lots to prove.
|
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Failed to build on reappearance promise when sixth of 9 at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back from 3 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts
General Hubble (5/2), Hill Of Tara (11/4), Libor Lad (3/1), Rare Clouds (15/2), Hokelami (10/1), Ostrava Du Berlais (14/1), Gaia Vallis (20/1), Harkangel (20/1)
A case can be made for a few of these but Kim Bailey's GENERAL HUBBLE overcame some sloppy jumping to score on his return at Market Rasen and can continue on the up and defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Uttoxeter-winner Libor Lad also arrives on the up and rates a big threat though, with both Rare Clouds and Hill of Tara weighted to have a say too in a competitive handicap.
