Confirmed previous promise when making the most of a good opportunity in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m, good to firm) 13 days ago, plenty in hand. Remains open to improvement and looks capable of defying a penalty.
|
Winning pointer but offered little in a hunter chase/maiden hurdle for Michael Winters last month and sold for only 5,000 gns.
|
Winning pointer (beat sole rival) in early-2025 but pulled up all 3 starts in that sphere in 2026 and finished a remote third to Louis Veron on recent Rules debut.
|
Showed fair form in Irish bumpers (for David Harry Kelly) and stepped up appreciably on his hurdling debut when second of 7 in 2m Huntingdon maiden in early March. Similar form when placed both outings since, including when just behind Take The Boat over C&D latest.
|
Poor chaser who offered little back over hurdles at Southwell last month and faces a stiff task in a non-handicap.
|
Useful up to 1¼m on the Flat but not at his best since joining his present yard and didn't see his race out tried over hurdles over C&D 17 days ago. Needs a sizeable step forward.
|
Fair in bumpers and in need of the experience when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle over C&D (good) 17 days ago, dropping away home turn.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat (stays 1m) who has stamina to prove now going hurdling.
|
Point bumper winner who has achieved little in 3 bumper starts under Rules, her second place in a first-time hood and tongue strap here latest about as hollow as they come.
|
Fair performer at up to 1¾m on the Flat who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when second (finished ahead of Maskarvel) in a C&D novice 17 days ago. Leading chance with a repeat.

Forecasts
Louis Veron (4/9), Maskarvel (5/2), Take The Boat (11/2), Penzance (20/1), Black Dakota (28/1), Usyk (66/1), Colibri Bleu (100/1), Angel Of My Dreams (150/1), Tequila Star (200/1), McGrath From Clune (250/1)
LOUIS VERON scored well enough at Warwick just under a fortnight ago to suggest he can defy a penalty. Take The Boat and Maskarvel are closely matched on their recent C&D form and look the main threats.
- Louis Veron4/9
- Take The Boat11/2
- Maskarvel5/2
