Brave Guest (G)
Poor maiden on the Flat for Jack Channon but has made a promising start to his hurdles career, much improved from his hurdling bow when second in a 9-runner juvenile at Kempton (16f, good) 3 weeks ago. This is typically a hot race, however…

Down To Business (G)
[T1]
Fair maiden on the (stays 1¼m) in Ireland for Andrew Oliver. Looks the part for hurdling and made a promising start when staying-on third in a well-run 2m juvenile at Newbury last month, yet to be asked for effort when mistake 3 out. Sure …

Elman (G)
[T]
Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Elishpour. Fair maiden on Flat for John Patrick Murtagh and was weakening when falling 2 out on hurdle/stable debut (100/1) at Limerick on Boxing Day. Has work to do in this company.

Enziya (G)
[PT]
Fair winner up to 1¾m on Flat in Ireland. Highly tried in his both completed starts over hurdles (had wind surgery in-between) prior to falling early at Taunton last time. Looks one for handicaps/longer trips.

Flash Man (G)
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in France, winner twice in 2025 but down the field on final start for H-A Pantall. Sold privately for €38,000 later in November and market can guide expectations on stable/hurdle debut.

Genealogy (G)
Useful 1m Flat winner as juvenile for Aidan O'Brien. Shaped as if better for the run on hurdle/stable debut when 80/1 eighth in a 19-runner juvenile at Leopardstown (16f, good) last month, not given hard time. Likely to improve at some sta…

Macshadow Des Crai (G)
French form has some merit (reached the frame in bumpers/juvenile hurdle for M.Seror) and he was given a sympathetic ride on reappearance/stable debut when sixth in the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham last time. Remains with potential for lead…
