Cirka Handicap Chase

Winning Irish pointer who left hurdles form well behind when making a winning handicap/chase bow at Fontwell on return and followed up in good style at Uttoxeter 5 weeks ago. More to come and can complete hat-trick.

Plumpton hurdle winner in April but disappointed back chasing both starts this term. Change of headgear.

Temperamental veteran who showed signs of decline last season and well held both starts this term.

Not so good in 4 runs since his Bangor second in May but mark continues to fall at least. Off 8 months.

Both wins have come over fences, including at Bangor in April. Good second (clear of rest) there on return before rather laboured effort back over hurdles on heavy ground. Can bounce back.

Lingfield winner last winter but has generally struggled since. Change of headgear. Others more persuasive.

Hit-and-miss 10-y-o who often let himself down with some rather sketchy jumping during a winless 2024/25 campaign. Possibly needed both starts this term but he is too up-and-down to recommend with confidence.
