Tailed off in a bumper for Gordon Elliott in January and also struggled when switched to hurdling for new stable (same owner) at Fontwell last month; tongue-tie removed.
Well beaten on Flat handicap debut for Archie Watson in May 2024; sold for 1,000gns the following summer; makes stable/hurdle debut after 568-day absence; can only be watched.
Pulled up when 200-1 for recent rules debut but battled on gamely to cause 300-1 shock at Exeter (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) on Thursday; will have 7lb penalty to carry if he makes a quick reappearance.
Tenth foal; half-brother to smart chaser Drop Out Joe and two point winners; dam French 2m2f chase winner, half-sister to smart jumper La Landiere; wears a hood on debut and is entitled to learn from this experience.
Lightly raced since French Flat win in 2022 but made the frame on all three British hurdling starts last season, most recently when second of nine at Chepstow (2m, good) in April; also suited by slower ground and will be on the premises if he returns in similar form.
Half-brother to useful hurdler Hititi; made low-key debut when eighth of 11 in soft-ground Chepstow bumper last month and needs to take a big step forward.
Showed promise in two good-ground bumpers in early part of this season, but soundly beaten in two novice hurdles this autumn (2m4f/2m3f); drops back in trip.
Bought for 80,000 after winning Wexford bumper (yielding ground) in October, form that was very well advertised by the runner-up over hurdles last month; survived last-flight stumble to make winning stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) yesterday; respected if he turns up here.
Capable of fair form on the Flat but very inconsistent in this sphere; raced far too freely on both hurdling starts last month, unseating rider on first occasion and safely held over C&D last time; too risky.
Went close in an Irish point in April (good to yielding) and showed clear promise before last-flight unseat on hurdle debut at Ludlow in November, but did not get competitive when 33-1 at Taunton (also 2m, good) recently and is difficult to enthuse over after that run.
Safely held when second on point debut in May (winner has BHA rating of 74) and pulled up when back in action last month; makes very limited appeal on rules debut.
Placed in two bumpers last season (good/soft) and kept on steadily from the rear for never-dangerous fourth on recent hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m, soft); can build on that run at some stage.
Placed in Warwick bumper (good to soft) on debut last November and returned from layoff with two fairly encouraging hurdle runs this autumn (2m/2m3f); needs to improve here but has potential.
Won Cork bumper (yielding to soft) by 6l for Paul Nolan in January and ran to fair level when fourth in Wexford maiden hurdle (2m, good to yielding) in March; sold for 18,000 after lesser effort over 2m4f in April but has a big role to play if back on song for new stable; tongue-tie added.
