Form & Verdict

Has soon left his bumper form behind over hurdles, winning a 2m4f maiden at Worcester and better again when fourth over that same trip at Cheltenham (outpaced); going an extra furlong here on softer ground should bring him on some more.

Point/bumper winner and wasn't remotely troubled to justify market confidence on her hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft); the two placed horses failed to advertise the form at Cheltenham last weekend but she's clearly useful.

Quite impressive in justifying favouritism in a 2m4f soft-ground handicap here on Boxing Day but came up short when again market leader for a Grade 2 mares' race at Sandown and that form has been let down since by the two she divided; a mare won this last year but this 6yo will need to raise her game markedly for the step up to 3m.

Won on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last October and consistent in defeat since, most recently a good third at Haydock (3m, heavy) in his first handicap; has had wind op since and wears first-time tongue-tie; drops back down in grade and this lightly raced 6yo is one to consider.

Quite a useful novice hurdler who ran a solid race under a penalty when runner-up at Catterick (extended 2m3f, soft) 24 days ago; proved his stamina for 3m when fifth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice on penultimate start and he's very much unexposed now handicapping for a stable in good form.

Form & Verdict

Went close in one of his two bumpers and looked very good on his switch to hurdling at Exeter (2m2f, good) when merely ridden out to prevail by 5l with 11l back to the third; there's substance to that form; all runs have been on good ground but he's promising.
