Bought for £92,000 after winning his Irish point by 20l; had a wind op since reportedly choking on his debut for this yard in a Ffos Las bumper; clearly open to significant improvement for top yard that's won this three times in six years including with Bravemansgame.

8th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner (3m, yielding to soft) who had wind surgery after finishing fourth in his sole bumper, and won easily on last month's hurdle and seasonal debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft); that form reads well and he's a leading player for his top trainer, who won this in 2019 and 2022. |

Stable doesn't have many debut bumper winners and yet this 82,000euros 3yo won very easily on soft ground at Warwick in March; there's some substance to that form and he looks a smart prospect.

Walk In The Park gelding out of a high-class racemare; won his second bumper by nearly 10l and was strong in the market ahead of a fairly comfortable maiden win at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft); the runner-up ran well in defeat last week at Wetherby; penalised accordingly but potentially useful.

Easily won Market Rasen bumper (2m, good) in February and followed up on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October; well-beaten third at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last time and could do with settling better on handicap debut, but he's in good hands to progress; tongue-tie goes on. |
