Choice Runner

12st 0lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Still unexposed after only nine races but he was safely held in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) then pulled up when upped to 2m7f for last month's chasing debut; needs new tongue-tie to make a big difference.

J: Liam Harrison

T: Dan Skelton

Showed promise in novice hurdles but he's been well held in three handicaps in that sphere; still has low-mileage but this is his first attempt beyond 2m4f and he needs a transformation on chase debut.

J: Tristan Durrell

Hasn't progressed in handicaps (2m4f/2m) but still early days and he's unexposed on this sort of ground; hard to dismiss.

Best finish came when runner-up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in November; soundly beaten on handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month but remains of interest for top yard now back down in trip.

Second at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) before running well for a long way at Leicester (2m4f, soft); a tad worrying that he's only raced five times and yet had two wind operations, but brings potential into handicaps.
