Leicester Racecourse Ideal Self-Hire Wedding Venue Handicap Hurdle

Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 and, on his first run following another breathing op, he hit the crossbar in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap (heavy) in November. That form hasn't worked out, though, and he ran poorly at Wincanton last time.

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 150/1) 75 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt.

Fairly useful performer on the Flat in Ireland but failed to make a significant impact over hurdles there, finishing well held in a Kilbeggan handicap in September (final start for Peter Fahey). Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations for new yard.

Successful at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in September and largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Needs to bounce back from poor effort at Southwell latest, though.

Fairly useful Flat winner in France but lightly raced and yet to score for Venetia Williams. However, shaped as return to this trip may suit when creditable fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) last month and merits consideration.

Resumed with win at Ffos Las (15.8f) in May but has failed to beat a rival home since and no surprise to see headgear reached for now.
