T: Gary & Josh Moore

Juvenile hurdler whose consistent form features two wins over 2m1f at Fontwell; ran creditably in 4yo handicaps at Sandown and Ascot the last twice; gives the impression he's ready for a crack at this new trip; likely player, taking on elders who are largely exposed.

2-4 over hurdles, the wins coming on good and heavy ground at Fontwell; dropped 1lb for finishing a 3l third on handicap debut at Sandown (soft) and there was enough in that run to believe he's handicapped to win again.

Won on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in October before Listed fourth at Wetherby; back on the scoresheet at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in December albeit looked booked for second prior to Turenne's final-flight fall; improvement is necessary now tackling a handicap but can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
0-5 on the Flat; won easily at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) before proving no match for a useful juvenile (winner since) back there when penalised (good to soft); free-going tendencies could be an issue should conditions turn testing but fair chance otherwise.

Keen-going front-runner who has made the frame on all six hurdling starts, most notably when winning by 8l at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in August; has her limitations but can cope if the ground is good to soft here (untested on anything slower) and ought to make another bold bid.
