weatherbysshop.co.uk Handicap Chase

Shaped as if he'd come on for his comeback over hurdles but ran poorly with cheekpieces back on when pulled up at Fontwell last month. Was fairly consistent prior to that and looks the type to bounce back in a change of headgear.

Ended time in Ireland with a career-best win over hurdles (only fair form) at Clonmel in December 2023. Off for nearly 2 years but showed a bit more on second start for new yard when well held runner-up over fences here (17f) 2 weeks ago. Could take another step forward back up in trip.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Below that form for current yard but did place in handicap chases at Wincanton and Leicester (soft) this time last year. Lacklustre efforts all 4 starts since and hard to be confident unless market speaks in her favour on return following another wind op.
