Runner-up in pair of point bumpers but failed to make an impact (well supported) in a Haydock bumper in December 2022. Beaten even further sent hurdling at Hereford next time and absent for 23 months since. First run for yard after leaving Venetia Williams.

French recruit who shaped well after 16 months off when runner-up at Stratford (16.3f) on stable debut in October. Ran to similar level when third in a Uttoxeter maiden (19.9f, heavy) a month later and this drop back in trip promises to suit. Major player.

Encouragement both starts in bumpers last season, but after 6 months off she ran below expectations when well held in a Fontwell maiden (19.1f, soft) on hurdles bow in October. Needs to leave latest run well behind after 80 days off.

Had 3 subsequent hurdles winners adrift when making a successful start to his career in bumper at this course in November 2023. Runner-up in a deep-looking bumper at Sandown on sole run since in February and he's a potentially useful jumper in the making.

Looked good prospect when winning an Exeter bumper on debut and soon left behind a lesser effort when successful at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) in February last year. Merits consideration as he goes hurdling after 11 months off (has had a breathing operation).

€92,000 3-y-o who was prominent in the betting on debut but finished tailed off in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in November. Makes hurdles bow with yard having been in good form.

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers and much improved from her hurdles debut when second of 5 in mares event at Wexford (20f, heavy) in October. Has since left Kevin F. O'Donnell and she's one to note for yard who does well with new recruits.

Always behind on debut but, in first-time cheekpieces, he showed more when third of 5 in novice hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) in May, albeit beaten a long way. Has plenty to find after 7 months off.

Ran out before 2 out on Hereford hurdling debut but wasn't so wayward when second to a useful prospect in 11-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in December. Remains early days and he may do better still as he gains experience.

£52,000 buy who was runner-up on sole completed start in points. Showed promise on hurdles debut when third of 6 in novice at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in December and he could take a step forward from that run, though he is bred to stay very well.
Timeform Verdict 
Having run to a fairly useful level in France, LUD'OR has shaped promisingly both starts for current yard, third behind a bright prospect at Uttoxeter on his latest outing, so he could be ready to get off the mark as he drops back down in trip. A pair of bumper winners could be the main dangers as they go hurdling, with Dunskay feared most ahead of Juby Ball.
