Form & Verdict

Brother to smart chaser Dingo Dollar; delivered on earlier promise when clearcut winner of good-ground Huntingdon bumper last month, and his pedigree gives strong indication he'll relish the step up in trip on today's hurdling debut; commands respect.

Form & Verdict

Second in two Irish points in the autumn and has made the frame on all three hurdling starts this year (2m3f-2m5f); ought to give another good account here but a couple of the others may have more potential; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict

Showed ability in a bumper and two points in Ireland last spring, and also when staying-on sixth of 17 in soft-ground Warwick bumper for new stable in November; had wind surgery during subsequent five-month break; needs to improve to make winning hurdle debut here but that's possible; tongue-tie fitted.

Form & Verdict

Well beaten on both hurdling starts during the winter but evidently well suited by switch to good ground when clear second at Warwick (2m5f, good) in March; that form already makes him a big player here, and he's open to further improvement.
