€30,000 5-y-o, first foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Dare Me. Off mark in Irish points at fifth attempt in April and starts out at a very realistic level.

Third foal, dam (h83) 2½m hurdle winner.

Showed ability in bumpers and promising start in this sphere/after 6 months off when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft), outpaced before staying on gradually. Held in third when falling at the last over C&D a month ago.

Ex-pointer who was third in an Irish bumper and shaped with encouragement when sixth in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut in October 2022. That form worked out and he came within a short-head of landing 20f novice at Leicester 2 months later. Off since but represents in-form yard.

Promising start when runner-up in a course bumper in April and sold from Toby Lawes for £35,000 the following month. Kept on for fourth on hurdles debut at Carlisle (20f) 3 weeks ago and there should be plenty more to come from him.

Made the frame on both bumper outings last season. Also some promise on October's hurdles debut at Kelso and given how he's shaped, this step up in trip will suit.

Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Looks limited on early evidence.

Malinas gelding. Pulled up sole start in points and showed nothing sent hurdling last month.

Runner-up all 4 completed starts in Irish points and showed more than he did on hurdles debut at Carlisle kept to that venue when fifth 3 weeks ago. Needs to improve again.

€15,000 3-y-o, fourth foal, dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, stayed 3¼m) Bobs Worth and fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Chesterfieldavenue. Off mark in Irish points at fifth attempt (Feb 2024).
