J: Sean Bowen

Won easily at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January, his second hurdling start, and was not discredited when second to useful rival at Taunton (2m3f, heavy; front pair well clear) in February; ought to make his presence felt.

J: Sean Bowen

Caught the eye when keeping on steadily for third on seasonal/hurdle debut in November and created good impression when drawing clear to win by 12l at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; ought to be a tough nut to crack.

175,000euros 3yo; well backed into 3-1 for a Ffos Las bumper (2m, good to soft) in April and he ran well to finish third of ten; left Paul Nicholls since but he's still with same owners; half-brother to a useful jumps winner and he's in the mix on hurdling debut.
