Point winner who won the first of his 3 starts over hurdles last season. Walked over on return/chase debut at Sandown and best to draw a line through subsequent Southwell effort (pulled up quickly with an irregular heartbeat a circuit out). Remains of interest.
|
Successful sole start between the flags in March 2022 and scored at second attempt over hurdles later that year. Placed on 3 of his half-a-dozen appearances in this sphere, but was pulled up on the latest at Chepstow in February and subsequent hurdles efforts have not been overly inspiring.
|
Looked better than ever when landing a 4-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (2½m, good to firm) on return and has backed that up with solid placed efforts since. Conditions here will be very different to what he's encountered of late, but he went close over this C&D on heavy ground in February.
|
Point winner who showed fair form over hurdles in 2023/24 without getting his head in front. Encouraging start in this sphere following a 22-month absence when third of 9 at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) and he's of strong interest down 2 lb here with improvement likely.
|
Runner-up in a Lingfield maiden hurdles in January, but pulled up both starts switched to fences this season (undergone a wind op since latest run here at the end of October) and now has a fair bit to prove.
|
Fair maiden hurdler for Ellmarie Holden in Ireland, ending his time there with good placed efforts in handicaps at Kilbeggan and Galway at the end of the summer. Didn't shape at all badly on debut for this yard at Exeter and he could have a say if his jumping passes the test now tackling fences.

Forecasts
Admiral Stewart (11/4), Genietoile (3/1), Hurricane Highway (4/1), Hudson (9/2), Gris Majeur (5/1), Better Off Alone (16/1)
The unexposed GENIETOILE wasn't given a hard time when third on chase debut at Chepstow where he was returning from an absence of almost two years. The 7-y-o, who was successful in an Irish maiden point back in 2022, can be expected to come on for that and gets the nod ahead of Gris Majeur and Admiral Stewart.
