Careersinracing Step On Track Programme Handicap Hurdle

Little in the way of solid form to his name, making no impression back from 5 months off at Worcester. Blinkers back

Little impact on Flat for Ed Dunlop but opened her account with plenty in hand for this yard at Wolverhampton in July. Hit the frame last 2 starts over hurdles without necessarily translating that improvement but she can remain very competitive at this level.

Capitalised on a much reduced mark at Newton Abbot (19f) in July. Typically promised more than he delivered when 16½-length fifth of 15 at Chepstow last month and subsequent 2 efforts suggest he's gone off the boil.

Big-price winner of a small-field novice at Plumpton in January 2025. Also won on the Flat this spring and while several lesser efforts have flanked that, he was given a considerate ride on hurdling return 3 weeks ago.

Still a maiden but he ran creditably enough on his return from 8 months off at Fontwell (2¼m, good to soft) last month. Unseated rider at first switched to chasing last week and attentions quickly switched to smaller obstacles.

Veteran who got off the mark in a thin Uttoxeter handicap (2m) in May last year. Now 6 lb lower in the weights following a typically patchy run of form but in keeping with many from his yard of late, a couple of placed efforts of late more like it.

Landed his first handicap success in this sphere at Wincanton (2m) in November (now 5 lb lower). Doesn't look the easiest to catch right, though he shaped quite well at Fontwell 4 weeks ago and he's been eased a further 2 lb.

Made a successful chase debut in a weak 4-runner event at Fakenham in May. Second at Newton Abbot in August but brushed aside fairly readily all 3 chasing outings since. Visor back on.

Modest stayer on Flat and despite not offering much in this sphere to date, he still warrants a market check on second handicap start given connections.
