2025 Uttoxeter Annual Membership Now Available Handicap Hurdle

Career-best in Ireland when winning 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) back in February when trained by Henry De Bromhead. Ran with credit in France over the summer, winning once (Clairefontaine, 18f, soft) but no easy task on U.K. debut for current connections.

Won twice over hurdles in early 2023 and returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when second of 9 at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. He needs to prove he can back up his last run but is 1 from 1 here and has to be respected representing excellent trainer/jockey combination.

Won juvenile hurdle decisively on sole start in France. Straight into handicaps on British debut (easy to back and probably needed the run) when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) on 23 days ago. Interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour now upped in trip.

Won twice at Hereford last campaign but fairly quiet start to this season. Took time to warm to his task when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces applied now and they need to sharpen him up if he is to be involved in the finish here.

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2022 and caught the eye on comeback run when fifth of 11 in 17f Carlisle handicap in October. Flopped at Sandown next time and well-held at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Up in trip for powerful yard and market should tell us whether better expected today.

Has made a promising start in handicaps, progressed from promising third at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) to win a 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Seemed to relish the testing conditions that day and stamina clearly his strong suit. Respected and any rain would help.

Back-to-back winner over hurdles in May. Well positioned when scoring on Flat at Redcar in November (14f, soft) and ran his best race over hurdles when second at Haydock 27 days ago (19f). Not everything went to plan that day (keen and hampered by loose horse) and player with smoother passage here.

C&D winner who ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) in May. However, failed to build on that next time and ran poorly on comeback when pulled up at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. A veteran performer now but does like it here (1st and 2nd from 2 starts).
