Seemingly unsuited by track when a bit below that level at Cartmel but looked temperamental back at winning venue in June and he&#8217;s never been one for maximum faith.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163402.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dual bumper scorer who ran to a fair level on second hurdles start when runner-up in a Southwell maiden in June. Rather expensive to follow since, his jumping an issue but step up in trip will suit and this opening mark really should be within range.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163403.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Back to form with third over C&amp;D last month. Confirmed he&#8217;s not as good over fences these days when never a factor at Kilbeggan last month but this is easier back in Britain and returned to smaller obstacles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163404.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Successful over C&amp;D last summer and off the mark for 2026 when dead-heating at Kelso in May. Can&#8217;t have been right when pulled up back here a month later and off since.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163405.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Seemed to run massively above himself when third of 14 in a maiden chase fitted with cheekpieces at Wexford in June. Definite scope from this mark back hurdling on that form and he&#8217;s since made an interesting stable switch. Shortlisted back up in distance. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163406.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Course regular, winning back-to-back C&amp;D handicaps in July. Looked anchored by revised mark next time before turning in a shocker 17 days ago. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163407.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Benefited from the step back up in trip when a \u00bd-length second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (2\u00bdm) in August, collared only late by an unexposed rival. Fitted with cheekpieces and way she shaped at Kilbeggan since suggests she&#8217;s worth a go at this trip.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260924per163408.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Cartmel regular, adding to his haul in July 2025.

Sound third back there 6 weeks later and while off the track since, she&#8217;s in very capable hands. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Registered his second win at Hexham in 15-runner handicap in May, running on well for pressure.
