Galop De Chasse (G)
Well handicapped on old form but badly out of sorts last season and didn't show much encouragement at Chepstow on his reappearance in December. On the upside, the stable is going as well now as it has all this term.

Ostend (G)
Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who capitalised on a falling mark and the run of the race when opening his account over fences at Market Rasen in March. Pulled up at Perth the following month but entitled to strip fitter for his recent com…

Casual Observer (G)
Well-made gelding who confirmed the promise of his 2024/25 reappearance when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 12 months ago. Not seen since but fitness rarely an issue with this yard and very much the type to progr…
