Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player.

J: Brendan Powell

T: Joe Tizzard

First run for Joe Tizzard when justifying market confidence at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March last year and unlikely he gave his true running when well beaten after a 7lb rise at Taunton in November; could be given another chance, though lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile.

Form & Verdict
Went close at Fontainebleau on sole French run; disappointing favourite in two races for new yard, latest at Fontwell on Tuesday when well behind Spiced Rum and Ellerton; not progressing as expected.

0-8 over hurdles but shaped very well before fading into fifth in soft-ground C&D maiden last month (first run after a wind op); has better chance at the weights now back in a handicap and should be fine on the faster ground; interesting.

Has shown significant hurdling ability but was well beaten in his first two handicaps (chase/hurdles), having bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind op during 81-day break; has a fighting chance if all goes well but comes with obvious risk.

Placed twice on Flat in Ireland; has not transferred that form to hurdles in two attempts, latest at Ludlow on debut for new stable; however, has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark.

Form & Verdict
Flat form includes one success in Britain and five wins in France; below par in AW event on debut for David Pipe but could do well for this yard now hurdling; has the ability to make a splash in this sphere.

Verdict

David Pipe’s REBEL ANGEL looks an interesting hurdles debutante, being a six-time Flat winner, while Right Now (second choice) may improve for the headgear and Rue De La Mer drops to an easier level.[Steve Boow]
