Winless since 2019 but was placed 3 times in claiming company earlier this year. However, not firing on all cylinders on Flat/over hurdles more recently and others more persuasive on balance.
|
Fairly useful on Flat in France and already tasted success 3 times over hurdles for new yard, dispelling pair of lesser efforts following 6 months off when landing 10-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, keeping on gamely. Respected up 6 lb with a repeat.
|
Twice successful on soft/heavy last winter and possibly had drying ground against him after 6 months off when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Fallen back down to last winning mark and not dismissed with conditions in his favour.
|
Highly positive start for new yard around the turn of the year, landing back-to-back handicaps at Market Rasen/Ludlow in February. Remains sufficiently lightly raced to think he can improve further this campaign. Shortlisted.
|
Won twice in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season but well below that level in 3 handicaps last season. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.
|
Ran to a fair level in bumpers in France for Emmanuel Clayeux. More impact than previously after 7 months off/on qualifying hurdles run when fifth of 14 in novice at Stratford (16.3f) 31 days ago and he's just the type his yard do well with in handicaps.
|
Bounced back with a career-best effort to land a 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March. Runner-up there next time and whilst below par at Ffos Las when last seen in May he returns to action with his yard going very nicely.
|
Largely struggled (in this sphere and on the Flat) after winning a Cork maiden hurdle for previous connections in March 2023. Little impact in 4 starts on the level since joining this yard and well held over further here 13 days ago. Drop back in trip a likely plus at least.
|
Pulled up both starts in Irish points and no better than modest form over hurdles for Mick Appleby during 2023. Has it to prove back from 15 months off now starting out for new stable.

Forecasts
Hara Kiri (11/8), Activist (9/2), Royal Rhythm (7/1), Double Click (15/2), Kuzco (9/1), Snapius (10/1), Foveros (12/1), I Have A Voice (33/1), Skeeter Park (150/1)
This looks a pretty warm race for the grade with HARA KIRI narrowly selected to pick up where he left off 9 months ago and complete the hat-trick with his yard continuing in good order. Kuzco rates a likely improver now handicapping and he needs monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Double Click, for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard, and Activist complete the dangers.
- Hara Kiri11/8
- Kuzco9/1
- Double Click15/2
