Point winner who confirmed promise of Rules debut when off the mark in a bumper at Southwell in October. Ran to a fair level on his hurdling debut when third at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) the following month and capable of building on that on reappearance.

£65,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Won sole start in points (Mar 2023) and encouraging start under Rules when fourth in 14-runner maiden at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) in February, rallying well. Runner-up over 19.51f at this venue 3 weeks later and this trip may well unlock more.

Verdict
€80,000 4-y-o, dam (h109), 3m/25f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser in France Aubane (winner at 17f/2¼m). Runner-up both starts in Irish points in spring 2024 and had a breathing op ahead of opening third of 3 (displayed clear ability) over C&D. Can improve.

Point winner who was beaten 13 lengths when second on Leicester hurdle debut in November and improved when fourth at Ffos Las a month later (both around 2½m). Wears a first-time tongue tie now stepping up in trip. Much respected from a leading stable.

Verdict
Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (May 2024) but having been well held on his only start in bumpers at Doncaster, it's been a similar story over hurdles. Up in distance.
