Successful sole start in Irish points and found to have suffered with an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on chase debut in November 2023. Shaped well back from a 12-month absence returned to hurdles at Carlisle but well held next time and he's opposable on this second attempt over fences.
|
Completed hat-trick over fences early-2023 and, though winless since, she has posted solid efforts in defeat both starts so far this season. Pulled clear of the rest when beaten less than a length by a very promising novice at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) last time and she needs considering.
|
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who made a successful handicap bow over hurdles at Fontwell (21.8f, heavy) last February. Pulled up both subsequent starts, including on return/chase debut at Stratford (since undergone a second wind op), but he's likely to show himself in a better light over fences before long.
|
Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, heavy) last March but he has offered little in 3 subsequent starts. Yard also saddles Cokytho.
|
Finally off the mark in a 3m Uttoxeter handicap chase last May but now has a point to prove having failed to fire both starts so far this season.
|
Off 9 months before returning with an encouraging third of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) in November, fading after 2 out (pair that beat him were progressive novices). Eased 2 lb since and should have a part to play if able to build on that.
|
Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and showed a fair bit when second in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Perth on second start under Rules last spring. Has failed to build on that since but perhaps this switch to fences and step up in trip will bring about improvement.
|
Remains a maiden following 9 appearances in various race-types under Rules (also 0-4 between the flags) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
|
Progressed well switched to handicap hurdles last season, again showing a good attitude when scoring for the third time at Stratford (2¾m, heavy) in March. However, there have been very few positives to take from his efforts over fences at Market Rasen and Catterick this season.
|
Over 2 years since his sole success and while his latest effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) on New Year's Day was a decent effort, others make more appeal for win purposes.

PERCY VEERING went down all guns blazing on his seasonal reappearance at Market Rasen and the 8-y-o is taken to resume winning ways. He may have most to fear from the mare Lazy Sunday, who found only the progressive Aworkinprogress too good in a Lingfield handicap last month and a reproduction of that effort would give her every chance. Camulus and Shillanavogy are others with claims.
