Form & Verdict

Unplaced in five bumpers but ended his time in Ireland with a fair third on his hurdle debut and built on that when second of 17 in a 2m Warwick novice (soft) on his return for a new yard three weeks ago; ought to be thereabouts.

Sole win in 2m novice last November; consistent if vulnerable in handicaps since and, although he only just failed when back over 2m4f here (good; first-time cheekpieces, retained) 18 days ago, that run didn't go far enough to suggest he needs 3m.

Second in both Irish points last season and made pretty good start to rules career when filling same position in Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in November; did not get home and was pulled up over 2m4f at Hexham (heavy) last month but it would be folly to write him off after that.

Runner-up on the first of two outings in bumpers; has shown fairly useful form to win twice on AW Flat since (for Keith Dalgleish); down the field in two turf handicaps for new yard this autumn but he wasn't beaten that far; hurdle debut.

T: Jedd O’Keeffe

Two-time Flat winner who won on his handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January, beating a big field with something to spare; also effective on good to soft; unexposed in this code and this 5yo may well take a 7lb rise in his stride.

Not up to a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in the spring but showed plenty of promise when first and second in bumpers at Huntingdon (good to soft/good) prior to that; has left Lucy Wadham ahead of this hurdle debut and reappearance; should be up to making his presence felt in novice hurdles.

Showed some fair form in defeat over hurdles last season and might have needed the outing when a disappointing favourite on reappearance outing in October; meets a hot prospect on this chasing debut but is worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind; sports first-time hood and refitted cheekpieces.
