Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers.

Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore.

Only win was a 2m7f handicap chase at Huntingdon in May 2024; mixed efforts over hurdles and fences since but well beaten last of six at Bangor on latest start.

Form & Verdict
Point (3m, soft) and bumper (2m, good to soft) winner who improved upon his first two hurdle performances when going close at Hereford (2m, soft) last month; he should be fine now back up in trip and has leading claims.

J: Henry Brooke

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Lost his way over hurdles and fences after winning a Warwick maiden hurdle in March 2023 for Charlie Longsdon; has yet to produce an effort of note in this discipline (0-3) but on a good mark if new connections can get him back on track; tries a tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise in both bumpers, at Kempton (2m, good) in March 2021 and here (2m1f, soft) last month following a long absence; there's some stamina in his pedigree and he's respected now up in trip on hurdle debut.

Left behind by two very useful rivals but still made promising debut at Kempton (good) in March 2021, and returned from long absence with another encouraging bumper run last month; should have a future over jumps.

4/1

Verdict

Point and bumper winner GAELIC PARK went close at Hereford last month on his third hurdle start and is taken to go one better. Hurdling newcomer Goodwin Racing could be a threat, however, having shown promise in bumpers.[Ben Hutton]
