Worcester Racecourse Ladies Day 7th June Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Fair ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who has made a very promising start for his new yard, landing Southwell handicap hurdle over this trip in March and placed again back in this sphere at Bangor latest. Different headgear here and can go well again.

Fair bumper winner but yet to match that level of form in this sphere, failing to improve for the switch to handicap company on his last 3 starts. Probably still too high in the weights.

Fair maiden on the Flat and fortunate to get off the mark on third attempt over hurdles in 2m mares' maiden at Doncaster in March. Out of depth in a more competitive race (in first-time cheekpieces) at Cheltenham last month. Has to be a player back in much calmer waters up in trip.

Dual winner over 2m in 2023/24. Yet to fire for this yard but back on a good mark. Failed to prove stamina for this trip at Bangor fitted with a tongue tie last time.

Capitalised on a drop in the weights to land a gamble over this trip at Wincanton in March. Bit disappointing at Taunton (3m) next time but should bounce back.

On a long losing run but more promise for current connections the last twice, still bang there 2 out but again failing to get home at Ffos Las (3m) 4 weeks ago. Down another 3 lb with tongue tie refitted back in trip and interesting.

Fit from a recent outing in points and left his previous efforts in handicaps (for Alastair Ralph) a long way behind when 5 lengths second at Fontwell (17.7f) last month, beaten only by the well-supported favourite. Good shout if backing that up.

Maiden who went close at Sedgefield (17f) in October but well beaten on first run since back there last month. Bit to prove, including stamina.

Little impact in bumpers and maiden/handicap hurdles.
