Handicap | Hurdle | 2m 3f 61y
Always A Reason
ALWAYS A REASON might be able to cope with a 3 lb rise for Southwell. Drop Kick did well in similar events over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Shadow Chaser. Pitwood Road is one to monitor closely in the betting on first start for Nicky Richards.

Left his 3 qualifying runs behind when making a successful handicap debut over C&D (soft) last month. Runner-up back here since and likely to be in the thick of things again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle2/10Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle1/11Hexham2m 48yGoodHurdle7/8Kelso2m 51yGoodHurdle7/13Perth2m 47yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle6/9- 4Shadow ChaserJ: Brian HughesT: Sandy Thomson576PP-2Age 65/25/211/4

Modest form at best over hurdles for Stuart Coltherd last season but gambled on and shaped a lot better for new yard when second of 14 in 19.5f Ayr handicap on reappearance 32 days ago.

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in early 2024. Failed to complete in 2 chase starts for Chris Grant last spring but market support worth noting back hurdling for a new stable which has enjoyed success with another recruit from the same source this season.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPerth2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/11Leicester2m 4f 25yGood to SoftChaseF/6Southwell2m 4f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/7Thurles3m 1f 22yGoodChase4/14Clonmel2m 1f 62yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase10/15- 7Always A ReasonJ: Ross ChapmanT: Rebecca Menzies7465-51Age 65/15/111/2

Improved to land a 20.5f Southwell handicap 12 days ago. Only nudged up 3 lb for that and his low-mileage profile suggests there may be more to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell2m 4f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle5/11Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/10Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/9Kelso2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/8- 6Half TrackJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Strong in the betting back hurdling on his last 2 outings but he was down the field at Ayr on the first occasion and unseated early over this C&D since. It'll be interesting to see whether his supporters' are prepared to give him another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdleur/10Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle8/9Perth2m 7f 180yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase8/8Perth2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase6/8Kelso2m 6f 151yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9- 5Lord De VinciJ: Callum BewleyT: Daragh Bourke4959-Age 722/122/120/1

Fair form when fourth in 17f course novice on hurdle debut last match but failed to match that in 3 subsequent starts last season, including 3m handicap debut in March.

Won a weak maiden hurdle at Naas (19.5f) for Stuart Crawford last December. Better effort in 17f course handicaps for new yard this season when fourth of 8 latterly, making his effort too soon.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle4/8Carlisle2m 1f 33ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle10/13Down Royal2m 4fGoodHurdle6/8Naas2m 2f 150ySoft to HeavyHurdle13/14Naas2m 3f 118yGood to YieldingHurdle1/14- 3Sao CarlosJ: Sean QuinlanT: Lizzie Quinlan533U5-PAge 728/128/125/1

Sole hurdle success came in a 2m maiden at Wetherby (heavy) nearly 2 years ago. Unable to make a significant impact in handicaps hurdles/chases for Olly Murphy last season and pulled up in Ayr hurdle on reappearance for new yard.
