Lucas Machinery Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle · 2m125y
RPR of 99 for his early-2025 Wetherby novice third (2m4f, soft) increasingly looks an outlier; wind surgery hasn't been able to prevent two further weak finishes since, and hopes now rest with the tongue-tie.
Made light of a 538-day absence to win for the first time on his stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago; handicapper has reacted by raising him 9lb but that may not be enough to stop him following up.
Came off worst in a pace battle with Granny B and ultimately 6l behind her at Hereford latest (2m, good); could still race more sparingly, but 3lb lower today and fared okay in a C&D juvenile last winter.
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations.
Made a noise after an anonymous run at Perth last time; placed in two C&D class 5s before that, albeit never looking that potent a late threat when second in the most recent of those (good); bit more required.
Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen.
0-16 over hurdles with limitations well exposed, but last month's 25l third at Hereford can be marked up as she'd tried to make all (not her usual run style) off the back of a 170-day absence; place claims.
0-10 over hurdles and still operating too far below her 2024-25 level to consider; pulled up behind Bunker Bay over C&D latest.
Fifth and about to post one of his better efforts when falling at the last behind Bunker Bay latest (C&D), not his first spill over hurdles; work on from further out of the weights today even with a clear round.
