T: Stuart Edmunds

Second in his only bumper and third in two maiden hurdles; favourite for handicap debut in eight-runner race here (2m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but was floundering before the home straight and finished more than 20l behind the first two; needs much better than that and cheekpieces go on for yard among the winners.

Runner-up in an Irish point and he hinted at promise on his hurdling debut when ninth of 15 in novice at Chepstow (19.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, fading after an error at penultimate flight; this son of Soldier Of Fortune can take a step forward now.
