Fairly useful middle-distance winner for Karl Burke. Much improved when ½-length second on handicap hurdle bow at Southwell in May. Went with more fluency when 7½-length third in a solid C&D event (second won since) on return. In excellent hands and has leading claims to open his hurdle account.

All out under a well-judged ride when opening his hurdle account at Warwick last May. Finished 6 lengths third behind a subsequent winner over C&D this summer. Since given time to get over a forgettable chasing debut at Worcester, now back hurdling off 2 lb above his winning mark.

Well beaten at bigger prices since making hard work of completing a C&D double (5/2) in July. Form figures of 21116 at this track and market may again prove best guide to his chances.

Regressive sort who blotted his copybook by refusing to race at Cartmel in late-August.

Runner-up once from 3 starts in Irish points. Caught the eye in 2 runs over hurdles in the space of a week in 2025. Gambled on when too free on return at Huntingdon in April. Could be lurking on a dangerous mark now sent handicapping by a good yard.

Low-mileage 6-y-o. Likely been campaigned with handicaps in mind following a fairly promising hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, soft) in December. Returns with her yard in good form and no surprise if she proves better than her opening mark.

Ran out 2 from home (length in front at time) in 3-runner race at Newton Abbot hurdling debut in June. No-show at bigger prices either start since. Should at least benefit from switch to low-grade handicap, for all he's 3 lb out of the weights.

Capitalised on career-low mark when narrowly winning a weak Newton Abbot handicap on return in June (17f). Never landed a blow in a bigger field event there (2¼m) the following month. Veteran may again find this too competitive on return.

Looks of little account and again races from out of the handicap on return.
