Has failed to trouble the judge in a trio of Irish maiden hurdles, but there have been signs of encouragement and improvement may well be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap. Tongue strap applied.
|
Bits and pieces of decent form during his time with Ben Pauling, but didn't offer much starting out for this yard at Warwick and remains winless following 11 appearances over hurdles.
|
Made a winning hurdles debut in a C&D novice back in September 2022. Not seen out in this sphere since, but he's been in pretty good form on the Flat of late and mark for this handicap hurdles debut looks reasonable.
|
Improved second on handicap debut/final run for Nicky Henderson at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in May. Again found just one too good in a maiden over the same C&D on first run for new yard the following month, but now finds himself with a bit to prove having failed to complete the last twice.
|
Maiden pointer who has shown ability under Rules, including when coming home 12¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Cawthorne Banker over C&D last month. Enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival, but whether it'll be enough to enable him to reverse those placings remains to be seen.
|
Signed off time with Andrew Balding by landing a 1½m Goodwood handicap in June 2024. However, patchy profile (both on the level and in this sphere) since joining this yard and, beaten a country mile tried in cheekpieces (discarded here) on the Flat at Southwell last time, he is opposable.
|
Lost his way following C&D success in May 2024, but mark plummeted as a result and back on-song the last twice, latterly making it 2-2 over this C&D. Well on top at the finish that day and, still on a good mark up 8 lb, another bold show is anticipated.

Forecasts
Cawthorne Banker (5/6), Fascinating Lips (7/1), Tsavo Park (7/1), Linden Lane (8/1), Fourtowns (10/1), Belcamo (12/1), Katana (12/1)
CAWTHORNE BANKER remains well treated on his old form having been raised 8 lb for last month's C&D success and the 7-y-o is taken to maintain his 100% record at this course. Fascinating Lips' sole run over hurdles resulted in a C&D novice success three years ago and, with no questions to answer with regard to fitness/wellbeing judged on recent Flat form, he rates the clear main danger ahead of Irish raider Tsavo Park, who can be expected to improve now handicapping.
