Join Racing TV Now Handicap Hurdle

Ended losing run stretching back over 2 years at Southwell on penultimate start but judged on his subsequent reverse at Doncaster, the handicapper now appears to be in charge.

Good strike rate since joining James Owen and ran well in 2m Catterick claimer penultimate start. Poor at Uttoxeter last time but can bounce back.

Won twice for Dan Skelton but failed to make an impact in a couple of appearances for present yard in the second half of 2024 and probably best watched following an 18-month absence.

Picked up for £155,000 after winning Irish point last spring and, on the back of a breathing operation, he finished second to classy rivals on first 2 starts over hurdles. However, subsequent handicap debut display at Doncaster represented a sizeable step in the wrong direction.

Point winner who showed first form under Rules when fifth in Newbury novice in January. Close second in a 4-runner C&D handicap last time and, though undeniably flattered by his proximity to the winner, this low-mileage 8-y-o will be a threat if able to build on that.

Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Irish Saint, and was in the process of improving on hurdles debut form when falling at the last at Warwick in December. However, she was disappointing at Ayr next time prior to again struggling on handicap bow at Exeter.

Remains a maiden following 11 attempts but he's finished in the money more often than not, back on track when third in a 5-runner handicap last time at Market Rasen where the drop to 18.6f counted against him. Wouldn't rule out back up in trip.
