Bumper winner; just pipped on last month's hurdle debut here (2m); that sets a good standard for the rest to aim at, especially as he's likely to appreciate this longer trip.

11st 2lb |
Out of a bumper/hurdle winner for these connections; placed in two good bumpers last season and did not need to improve to win at short odds at Market Rasen (good to soft) in May; leading contender on hurdling debut. |

Placed in big field at Wincanton (good to soft) on debut on Boxing Day and probably bettered that performance when second of 14 at Chepstow (good to soft) in February; sets a good form standard here. |

Irish point winner who created a good impression when taking a Hereford bumper in April, on debut for Alan King; this trip likely to suit now hurdling and quite possible he could go close.

Two French Flat wins in 2021 but seen only once since, when tailed off on British/hurdle debut at Kempton 21 months ago; tough task after the absence but worth keeping an eye on for the future.

27th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two French Flat wins in 2021 but he's had just two hurdle runs for this yard; struggled at Kempton last February but that was in the Adonis (Grade 2) and he ran well for a long way over 2m5f here (third of six) on his recent comeback; looks open to more progress on this drop back in trip and he's respected for in-form yard. |

10st 12lb |
Half-brother to three Flat winners; dam French 1m 2yo winner, half-sister to Group 2 winners Policy Maker (1m4f) and Pushkin (1m6f); pretty useful on the Flat in France, with 1m3f and 1m2f wins before 250,000euros sale last August; trainer is not best known for juvenile hurdlers but this one has a Triumph entry, like the other hurdling newcomers. |

Two bumper wins last season and may have been over the top when down the field on his final start; half-brother to winning hurdlers and not at all dismissed on debut in this discipline, with stamina in the pedigree.

11st 2lb |
Dual bumper winner but inferior to some of these in that sphere and, after a second wind operation, he was tailed off on his switch to hurdling at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft); very opposable on the back of that in this tougher race; now tongue tied. |

Ran well in two bumpers but last month's third at Uttoxeter on hurdle debut (2m4f) was probably no more than satisfactory; likely to improve but looks to have a deal to find.

Close second to fairly useful rival on bumper debut for Tom Weston at Hereford (soft) last November and fourth in what looked a good race here on stable debut in March; looks a good prospect for novice hurdles this season. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

28-1, shaped well when clear second in Hereford bumper in November on his sole start for Tom Weston; has since joined Dan Skelton so he's firmly in the picture with improvement very much on the cards. |
