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.

Ended last season with good-ground Bangor bumper win and displayed significant improvement to score on last month's hurdling debut at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft); open to further progress but others look stronger. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Creditable fifth of 19 in valuable Newbury bumper (soft) in March and opened account in easier race at Bangor (good) the following month; probably needs to improve to make winning hurdle debut here but has potential. |

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.

4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

held up in midfield, smooth headway after 4 out, switched right after 3 out, nudged along and disputing second after 2 out, led last, soon pushed along and went clear, ridden briefly inside final 110yds, comfortably |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Had just one other finisher to beat in a point at Hexham in November; hard to weigh up on that evidence but has a useful pedigree (dam won a bumper) and represents powerful connections so has to be considered. |

Irish point winner; encouraging third in a bumper and then won a Uttoxeter maiden narrowly (2m4f, good to soft) in October; the second filled the same berth next time at Aintree; goes into a much stronger race here and with a penalty.

Joined Jonjo O'Neill after last November's winning Irish point debut and made a pretty good start to rules career when placed in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) in April; ought to make his mark over hurdles this season. |

Made winning Irish point debut in November (yielding ground) and was bought for £80,000 the following month; new stable has good strike-rate in bumpers (17%); no surprise if he features. |

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.

Close second in good-ground course bumper on debut last November but that form isn't anything out of the ordinary, and he returned with a lesser effort at Ffos Las in March; others have stronger claims. |

Tailed off in his bumper but showed more when midfield in a 2m3f novice here (soft), looking as though he needed further; however, looks very vulnerable in this company.
