Dam has bred four winning hurdlers; promising debut was improved on when winning Bangor maiden (2m, good) in May; that wasn't a strong race but there's plenty to suggest she can improve now handicapping.

Weak 15-2 shot in Hereford bumper (2m, soft) last month but she made some promising late headway to finish third of eight; that form is not strong but she's a half-sister to four winning jumpers and should have a future in this new discipline. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well when fifth of 11 over C&D (good) on handicap debut in May but we haven't seen him again since and he's effectively 1lb higher from out of the weights today; needs to find something extra; tongue-tie added. |

Went off at only 10-1 for a valuable Newbury bumper on debut but he was well beaten; a similar story in qualifying hurdles but he represents a top yard with a 24% strike-rate in hurdles here; this is by far his easiest assignment so check the market.

Won off lowly mark over C&D (good to soft) last summer and ran quite well when third of seven here (soft) in July but he's only 1-18 over hurdles and reverts to this code after a poor Flat run six weeks ago. |

Winning hurdler for this yard and returns to the Flat for the first time in over two years; wouldn't be a certain stayer, though, having never tackled further than 1m4f on the level. |

Not yet off the mark but she's shown up well in handicaps and only just lost out at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July; well held at Bangor since and this could be a tricky assignment as well.

Has a modicum of ability, but finished well down the field in low-grade 2m4f handicap here a fortnight ago and looks up against it on these terms. |

Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but did not show anything more than minor promise in maiden/novice events (2m-2m4f) and probably needs to improve to make an impact on this handicap debut. |

Won final two of 11 points in Ireland; low-key hurdle debut last November but had enough reserves to beat the favourite in a two-runner Carlisle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in December; chasing is likely to be his game but he could easily win an ordinary handicap hurdle first.

Useful stayer on the Flat (RPR 81); modest over hurdles thus far but it would be surprising if he couldn't fare better now handicapping at a low level. |
