Bumper winner who made it two out of three over hurdles at Perth (2m, good to soft) when making all; looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip and holds good claims.
Comment
Bumper winner who made it two out of three over hurdles at Perth when making all.
Stable Tour
"A point-to-point winner who won two bumpers last season but was over the top when he went to Aintree in April. He'll start off in a maiden hurdle next month and is one of my brighter novice hurdling prospects. 24-10-24"
Quotes
"His win didn't surprise me in the slightest. I thought Castle Ivers would be a nice horse after he won his maiden hurdle, but he got an injury and had to have a year off. He's got no experience running in handicaps, but it was a good performance to beat a progressive horse in Trust House with only two runs over hurdles under his belt - Olly Murphy, trainer."
2026-05-14 - Perth"Castle Ivers is a lovely horse. We'll think about Aintree and Ayr for him but he's more a horse for next season - Olly Murphy, trainer."

Has three wins over hurdles at around 2m; may have needed the run on his first start since January when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) last month and this step up in trip should suit.
Comment
May have needed the run on first start since January when fourth at Warwick last month.
Stable Tour
"He did very well last season, winning twice over hurdles and being impressive on the Flat as well. He just needed his first run back at Plumpton and performed far better at Sandown on Sunday when he finished second. He's not very big but he's tough. I know it's a bit harder for juveniles in the following season, but he's got plenty of ability and he should be winning again soon. 12-11-25"
Quotes
"I ride Continuance out every day and he's a little dude. I rode him twice on the Flat and always wanted to ride him over jumps. He was so good. I thought we might be going too fast, but he's got such a high cruising speed. He's quick, but also stays well and he comes out of hurdles even faster than he goes into them - Freddie Keighley, jockey, speaking to Sky Sports Racing."
2025-03-17 - Fontwell"Continuance jumped very well, he was very quick in and out. Martin's got a new schooling ground on the grass, and you can be confident when they've done as much schooling as he has - Sean Bowen, rider, speaking to Sky Sports Racing. We can breathe now. Continuance did what we said he would before the race, getting a lead over the first two. It was not a very good race on paper but he's done it well, he's hit the line well and he's a strong stayer. He's taken to it well. In a better race we won't need to make the running; he came from behind when he won on the Flat at Chepstow - Martin Keighley, trainer, speaking to Sky Sports Racing."

Both wins over hurdles have came at Hereford over 2m3f on good; ran up to his best when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; he needs to be held up to get the best out of him; this is a step up in class and he needs to improve further.
Comment
Both wins over hurdles have came at Hereford; runner-up at Fontwell last month.
Stable Tour
"He can be tricky because he needs to be held up, just as he was at Hereford when he won a 2m3½f handicap hurdle in November. He came from last to first that day. He made it look so easy the handicapper raised him 8lb and he's now on a career-high mark. He never threatened at Chepstow the time after that but I thought I had him ready for Warwick on Saturday when the meeting was abandoned. 14-01-26"

Progressive in the spring when winning at Market Rasen and Ffos Las over around 2m; no disgrace in finishing runner-up to stablemate Castle Ivers at Perth (2m, good to soft) last time; Sean Bowen prefers Castle Ivers on this occasion but still a contender up in trip.

Completed a double, five months apart, when successful at Bangor (2m7f, good) in April; this is tougher off 7lb higher but may have more to offer in search of a three-timer.

"His form has worked out well. We were a bit disappointed he didn't win over the summer and we've had his wind done. He'll make into a nice middle-distance novice hurdler/novice chaser. 12-11-24"
Quotes
"Speed Davis won a point-to-point, he won his bumper and he was second last time at Catterick. He was a bit novicey at times but he jumped well - Brian Hughes, jockey."
