Another Fine Mess
ANOTHER FINE MESS has few miles on the clock and produced a career best when scoring over hurdles at Chepstow in December. Upped in trip he may have more to offer yet and is taken to make a successful debut over the larger obstacles here. Empty Nest and Busty Boy could be the dangers.

Found improvement when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16.1f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Interesting that connections have decided to go chasing now and he remains fairly treated. Can go well if stamina holds out.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 16yGood to SoftHurdle1/13Lingfield Park2m 3f 110yGood to SoftHurdle5/5Warwick2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Soft in places)HurdleF/17Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/10- 8Empty NestJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Mark Walford316-752Age 87/211/43/1

Won 2 chases over this sort of trip last season and returned to form when good second of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Newcastle (20.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago.

Bumper/dual 2m hurdler winner who made an encouraging start over fences at Aintree in October and got back on track, in first-time cheekpieces, when creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 41 days ago.

Three-time winner over hurdles last season who got off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere when scoring at this course (16.4f) in December.

Winless since scoring at Kelso back in October 2023 but he has rarely finished out of the frame since. Near best form when third of 10 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, soft, 6/1) in November and looks worth a try in cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/10Carlisle2m 3f 210yGoodChase2/7Perth3m 6f 121yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/12Carlisle3m 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/14Ayr3m 20yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase2/8- 3The Winslow BoyJ: Ben PosteT: Tom Symonds310P-3PAge 79/19/18/1

Failed to build on winning a Chepstow novice hurdle last season but back on track sent chasing when third there (16.1f) in November. Latest run best excused (slithered on landing half way) and can make presence felt.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 4f 194ySoftChasepu/11Chepstow2m 16yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase3/10Southwell2m 4f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/11Ascot1m 7f 152yGood to SoftHurdle14/18Chepstow2m 11yGood to SoftHurdle1/11- 4William Of YorkJ: Ross ChapmanT: Rebecca Menzies1/P-PP6Age 1011/111/112/1

Completed a hat-trick at Carlisle in April 2024 but raced only 4 times since, pulling up on first 3 occasions. Better signs at Wetherby latest, however, and he is 8 lb below his last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/9Newcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/10Wetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/6Carlisle2m 4f 198ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/7Carlisle2m 3f 210yHeavyChase1/11- 6ClonakiltyJ: Sean QuinlanT: Lizzie QuinlanP432-0PAge 966/180/150/1

A fairly useful 2m4f chase scorer for Olly Murphy but he has offered little in either start for new yard this term.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 4fSoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/8Ayr2m 4f 100ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle11/11Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/6Lingfield Park2m 4fHeavyChase3/6Uttoxeter2m 4fSoftChase4/8
