Very much on the up since sent handicapping, completing a hat-trick in good style at Sandown (19.8f) 6 weeks ago. Open to further improvement.
|
Improved with each run in bumpers and made a successful hurdling debut at Worcester in September. Showed better form in defeat under a penalty at Carlisle the following month and should go well on this switch to handicaps if picking up where he left off.
|
Made steady improvement over hurdles last season, landing a Kelso handicap on his final run of the campaign. April. Stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 12 back at aforementioned track 3 weeks ago and still relatively unexposed.
|
Enjoyed a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory at Aintree in April. Well below form this season, though, beating only one home in 11-runner handicap at Bangor on most recent outing.
|
Runner-up to 2 next-time-out winners on his qualifying runs and ran to a similar level when sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Likely to make presence felt if seeing out the longer trip.
|
Won his first 2 handicap hurdles at Perth (both 3m) in July. However, below that level last 2 starts following 6 months off.
|
Well handicapped on best form and took a firm step back in the right direction when second at Carlisle (19f) in December. Respectable fourth in a 0-130 at Haydock (3m) next time but proved a disappointment back down in grade here on most recent outing. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
|
Easily best run since joining Tom Gretton when second of 9 over 19f at Catterick (good to soft) 35 days ago. Claims if he can back that up.
|
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 24 days ago. Edged back down to last winning mark and can't be ruled out.
|
Seems to be in a lull at present, finishing fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.4f, soft) on most recent outing. Needs to revive in first-time cheekpieces (also had breathing operation).

Forecasts
Lord Of All Saints (5/2), Both Barrels (3/1), Follow Charlie (8/1), Koukeo (8/1), King Roly (17/2), Half Track (11/1), Maillot Blanc (11/1), Reforme (14/1), Buy Some Time (16/1), El Jefe (100/1)
LORD OF ALL SAINTS is a rapidly improving young hurdler and the 4-timer surely beckons having scored in a manner that suggests he's still not close to reaching his limit at Sandown last time. Both Barrels went the right way from his reappearance and remains relatively unexposed, with handicap-debutant King Roly also likely to go well if picking up where he left off in the autumn.
- Both Barrels3/1
- King Roly17/2
