Got off the mark at Stratford in March and has continued in good nick, resuming winning ways at Uttoxeter 18 days ago, all out. First run for yard after leaving Olly Murphy. Enters calculations once more.

8/1
Veteran on a losing run that stretches back to 2021 and well held in 4 runs for this yard (both hurdles and fences). Mark continues to freefall at least.

5/2
Successful 4 times over fences and while he's 0-4 in this sphere and often finishes weakly, it would be unwise to completely rule him out back hurdling off an attractive mark on debut for new yard.

Initially improved for switch to chasing, equipped with cheekpieces when an easy winner at Huntingdon (23.6f) in October. Good second next time but jumping has gone to pieces since and back hurdling now.

5/1
In good form this summer and finally off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase here in July. Decent second back hurdling over C&D next time before excuses latest run (ground). Respected despite being 3 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Touchwoodexpress (15/8), Great D'Ange (5/2), Tropical Speed (9/2), Testflight (5/1), Enjoy D'allen (8/1)

15:41 Newton Abbot - 29 September 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

TROPICAL SPEED continues to hold his form well and appeals as the most solid option starting out for a new yard, though veterans Enjoy d'Allen and Great d'Ange are potentially well treated back over hurdles.
