Easily best effort in bumpers when third of 7 over C&D (good) 27 days ago. Makes hurdle bow.
|
Runner-up on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Mar 9) but looks one for handicaps at longer trips judged on his opening effort under Rules at Uttoxeter just 4 days earlier.
|
Little show in bumper/pair of maiden hurdles.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat at up to 1¼m who proved more miss than hit for Ed Dunlop last season, but made a successful hurdling/stable debut at Ayr (2m) last month, quickening to lead again close home. Better to come.
|
Failed to beat a rival in 2 point bumpers and suffered the same fate fitted with a hood on Rules debut at Taunton. Switches to hurdling now.
|
Well held in sole bumper and got no further than the first (unseated rider) on hurdling debut here recently.
|
A fairly useful winner on Flat for Andre Fabre last summer and shaped encouragingly second time up over hurdles when never-nearer fourth in 9-runner maiden at Chepstow (2m) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Open to further improvement.
|
Finished last in a Flat maiden for Mick Channon in 2022 and offered little on recent Chepstow hurdling debut.
|
Little show in a pair of bumpers last summer and similar story both starts over hurdles.
|
Well held in an Exeter bumper (for L. Jefford) last spring and pulled up both starts in points subsequently.

Forecasts
Roxanne (2/5), Roadshow (7/2), Moves Like Mason (11/2), Ben Lomond (12/1), Klervia (33/1), Field Of Aces (66/1), Cinq Douzaine (80/1), Daisy Me Rollin (100/1), The Flaming Galah (125/1), Rockbeare (150/1)
A likely match between ROXANNE and Roadshow. The latter shaped much better than first time up over hurdles at Chepstow recently, but equally, the former showed a good change of pace to come out on top on her hurdling debut at Ayr last month and, with better to come, she's taken to defy a penalty.
- Roxanne2/5
