Irish point winner last February but finished completely tailed off in his three runs over hurdles; has masses to find with the best of these. |

25th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) whose hurdle debut fourth at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) wasn't without promise; improvement required but the step up in trip may be a plus (stayed 2m on the Flat); not ruled out each-way. |

Dead-heated for first in a British maiden point (3m, good) in April; has not shown much at all under rules (bumper/hurdle). |

2nd 5 |
30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed a fair level of ability in three races on soft/heavy last winter, notably a success in bumper (debut) and close second in 2m3f novice hurdle, both at Warwick; still unexposed and looks a nice prospect for Deborah Cole; bang there on ratings. |

31st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in two good-ground course bumpers in the spring, latterly when second (no match for winner) behind an exciting prospect; others in this line-up appeal more, though. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Successful in Irish point six weeks ago (second attempt) but that form looks ordinary; appears to have a tougher task on rules debut. |

23rd Jan 2023 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark in his fourth British point but could only manage mid-division in a Warwick bumper (soft) when 28-1; unlikely to be good enough for this. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten in his three Irish maiden points over 3m but shaped as though perhaps not having the necessary stamina; has joined top yard for rules career and could go well over this shorter trip. |
10/1 |
Verdict
He found one just too good when odds-on here last month but GEORGES SAINT certainly didn’t run badly that day, and his earlier handicap second makes him the one to beat. Hauraki Gulf also has good form claims but this is his first run for 11 months and a bigger threat to the selection may come from Cuthbert Dibble, who ought to be suited by today’s step up in trip.[Chris Wilson]
