Had them well strung out in a 2m Southwell maiden (soft) in early March but that was a modest contest, for all that the second and third horses have won since, in low-grade races on the Flat and over hurdles; this 5yo may need to be on a sharp upward curve if he's to defy this initial mark.

Made the frame in a bumper; only midfield in both attempts over hurdles but appears likely to fare better in this weaker contest; similar type to stablemate Collanisi and is one for the shortlist.

Fourth in good-ground Worcester bumper on debut in October and also showed significant promise before weakening into seventh (just behind Harbour Island) in good Newbury maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in November; needs improvement over this longer trip but well worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind.

T: Ben Pauling

Fourth of 12 when joint-favourite for a Worcester bumper (2m, good) last month but he showed promise behind a useful rival in that race; has plenty of stamina in pedigree but he's a half-brother to four hurdle winners and needs a close look on this switch to jumping.

Twelfth foal; half-brother to six winners including One For The Team (bumper/useful 3m hurdle) and One Of Us (3m-3m7f hurdle/chase); dam bumper/useful 2m4f-3m hurdle winner, closely related to Grand National winner Rule The World; newcomers from this yard always worth a second look.
