11st 9lb

J: Harry Bannister

Front-runs; is well treated on chase form last spring and later won two good-ground novice hurdles (2m/2m2f); however he ran no sort of race when weakening quickly under pressure in his first handicap hurdle, at Worcester in September, and has a query back from break.

Form & Verdict
Bought out of a French claiming hurdle; beaten 7l in two novices at Worcester (2m4f/2m), latterly behind Give Me A Moment; will do well to reverse those placings even with a pull in the weights; now has tongue tied.

J: Thomasina Eyston

Made the frame in three good-ground maiden/novice hurdles last spring/summer (2m-2m4f) but his first two handicap runs were no better than respectable and he needs to find something extra on first start for four months.

Ran nice races behind respected opposition in his qualifying runs and it was a competitive Class 2 in which he made no impression on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m4, good); bit mean to drop him just 1lb for that 18l defeat.
