Got off the mark over fences at Doncaster in February and failed to stay at Cheltenham (28.1f) in April. Ran respectably when fourth in his comeback at Chepstow and is one to consider from same mark.
|
Scored over hurdles at Plumpton (20.5f) in January for Anthony Charlton. Probably in need of the run after 7 months off for new yard when ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good) on debut over fences 30 days ago and he's likely capable of better in this sphere.
|
Improved model this term, third over hurdles in May and, following 5 months off, progressed again when second on handicap chase debut at Bangor (3m) in October. Fell early at Hereford (25.2f) 15 days ago and he's respected as a low-mileage sort here.
|
Fair winning hurdler who couldn't replicate that level on first try in this sphere when third of 7 in handicap chase at this course (20f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Still, this former point winner looks the part for this discipline and she should do better. Up in trip.
|
All 4 of his wins over fences have come at Ludlow, the latest over 23.8f this time last winter. However, failed to complete all 4 starts since, off bridle some way out and well held when refusing at the last back at Ludlow 5 weeks ago.
|
Made a winning seasonal/chase debut at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 13 months ago. Seen only 3 times thereafter, finding his chance compromised by a serious error (also bled) when pulled up at Southwell (24.3f) in April. Good record fresh a positive at least ahead of this.
|
Fair maiden over hurdles who dispelled his return/chase debut blip when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this course (20f, soft) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Unexposed at around this trip and he's fancied to be firmly in the mix again.
|
Point winner who made the frame on each of his first 4 starts over hurdles. Showed plenty to work on when sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, heavy) on debut over fences 44 days ago. Tongue tie refitted following wind op and he appeals as the type to do better in this sphere.
|
Fair form when reaching the frame in 2 juvenile hurdles in France in autumn 2021 but no impact in 3 runs following a lengthy absence earlier this year. Goes chasing now after 8 months off/on back of wind surgery with yard in great nick and the market can lead the way.

Forecasts
Heard That (11/4), Ultra Beat (4/1), Walks Like The Man (9/2), New Order (5/1), Betterforeveryone (13/2), Lady Jago (9/1), Mako Of The Glade (22/1), Roger Rarebit (25/1), Tide Times (100/1)
Claims can be made for a few here with Charlie Longsdon's NEW ORDER the suggestion. He offered plenty to work on when finishing midfield on his chase debut at Bangor in October and, with a tongue strap re-applied following wind surgery, he appeals as having an even bigger effort in his locker. Recent course winner Heard That looks sure to be suited by the return to this longer trip and, along with Ultra Beat, heads up the dangers.
- New Order5/1
