Got off the mark at this course in November. Development has stalled since, but he was better than the result when 15 lengths sixth of 9 to Storming George in novice handicap at Newbury last time. Further 3 lb drop and return to 2m will suit for in-form yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 2f 183yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle6/9Chepstow2m 16ySoftHurdle6/9Newbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle2/11Newbury2m 4f 118yGood to SoftHurdle6/12Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/10- 3Cosmic ConnectionJ: Bryan CarverT: Chris Gordon12Age 59/411/45/2

Point winner who has made a bright start under Rules, overcoming inexperience and traffic problems to land a useful-looking Warwick novice in March before stepping up on that effort when 7 lengths second of 11 to Hurricane Pat in similar race at this course.

Dual bumper winner, who also landed a pair of 2m novice hurdles in 2024/25. Was in the process of running below expectations (held in fifth) when falling heavily last in novice handicap won by Palacio at this course on chasing debut in November. Reverts to hurdling on return.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 16yGood (Good to Firm in places)ChaseF/10Sandown Park2m 3f 173yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdlepu/16Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to SoftHurdle2/8Ffos Las1m 7f 182yGood to SoftHurdle1/10Worcester2mSoftHurdle1/11- 2AuthodidacteJ: Charlie DeutschT: Venetia Williams1-1Age 68/110/19/1

Dual winner on Flat in France, who is unbeaten in 2 starts over hurdles, again belying a lengthy absence when making all in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter on return, beating Nowmelad by 5½ lengths. Open to further progress, but needs to defy an 11 lb rise.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter1m 7f 168ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/8Leicester1m 7f 113yHeavyHurdle1/6Clairefontaine1m 3f 205yGood to softFlat10/16Compiegne1m 3f 205yVery softFlat5/14Clairefontaine1m 3f 205yGood to softFlat1/10- 9Zambezi FixJ: Harry AtkinsT: Bernard Llewellyn22-7406Age 1112/112/111/1

Often flatters to deceive and has failed to shine in 4 starts this season. However, yard has turned a corner of late, and he's been given a big chance by handicapper tackling a race he's got a good record in (won 2024 renewal, runner-up in 2025).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las1m 7f 182yHeavyHurdle6/7Chepstow2m 16yGood to SoftHurdle13/13Uttoxeter1m 7f 168ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/8Newton Abbot2m 167yGood to SoftHurdle7/9Chepstow2m 11yGoodHurdle2/4- 6Cornish StormJ: Jay TidballT: Zoe Hawkins6029115Age 718/118/116/1

Took well to the addition of cheekpieces when winning 8-runner handicaps at Taunton and Warwick (19f, by 3½ lengths from Le Yacht) this season. Below form at Newbury 3 weeks ago though and blinkers now applied on debut for new trainer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle5/7Warwick2mHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Taunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle1/8Wincanton1m 7f 50ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/13Kempton Park2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/10- 7LacrimaJ: Lorcan MurtaghT: Nick Scholfield2227111Age 518/118/116/1

Fairly useful chaser who landed hat-trick of claimers at Dieppe and Auteuil (2) between August and October for N. George & A. Zetterholm. Lightly raced as a hurdler (runner-up on standout effort) and blinkers now removed on debut for yard going well at present. Worth a market check.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAuteuil2m 2f 86ySoftChase1/9Auteuil2m 1f 197yVery softChase1/9Dieppe2m 1f 88yVery softChase1/9Clairefontaine2m 2f 86yVery softChase7/8Segre2m 2f 86yChase2/6- 5In The AirJ: Tom BroughtonT: Alastair Ralph5412121Age 822/122/120/1

Has won 3 times in handicap chases this season, putting his experience to good use when beating sole rival in novice event at this course in October. Not seen since, but has gone well fresh in the past and reverts to hurdling off workable mark with good 5 lb conditional booked.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 11yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase1/2Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/2Stratford-on-avon2m 213yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/6Stratford-on-avon2m 3f 98yGood to FirmChase2/7Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGoodChase1/5- 4Celtic ArtJ: Chad BamentT: Jeremy Scott5812158Age 925/133/128/1
