T: Joe Tizzard

Good-ground bumper runner-up who improved with each of his first four runs over hurdles, easily winning a maiden here (2m, soft) in February; pulled up in the competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft) since and needs to prove his stamina, but pedigree provides hope; not written off.

Took a few goes to get off the mark over hurdles but did so in emphatic fashion at Plumpton (2m, soft), making all in a canter; bred to be suited by 2m4f+ and is a very interesting contender now tackling handicaps.

1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race.

Had form in Irish bumpers; steadily progressive profile over hurdles, last time going down by 8l on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good); lacks a change of gear so going up in trip could help matters, as might the first-time hood.

Showed promise when making the frame in two bumpers in Ireland (soft to heavy/yielding); however, tailed off on his first two hurdle starts (2m, soft/good to soft) and needs to be an entirely different proposition today.

Running well over this trip on turf here in her last couple of starts, finishing runner-up in May and going one better under Seamus Cronin the following month; up 5lb, but latest form has been boosted with the second and third both winning twice since; respected if as effective back on Polytrack; stable also runs Dubai Harbour.
