Form & Verdict
Useful pedigree; did not go on for Richard Hannon after showing promise in a soft-ground 1m3f Newbury maiden last spring but his hurdle debut third for this yard at Kempton (2m, good to soft) was a good start; open to improvement and can be involved, helped by the 4yo allowance.

Became disappointing on the Flat for Richard Hannon; hasn't kicked on from his narrow Lingfield success (soft; beat Be Aware) and finished well behind on his handicap debut at Ascot; blinkers will need to make a difference and he's 3lb wrong.

Became disappointing on the Flat for Richard Hannon; 13-8 when the narrow winner of a soft-ground novice hurdle at Lingfield before trailing home last of the finishers at Newbury; not wildly appealing on the back of that effort now into a handicap of this strength.

Brother to yard's good jumper Lac De Constance and made an immediate impression himself when coming through strongly late on to win on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft); not hard pressed and has good chance of defying a penalty.

Did well to beat a useful opponent first time out at Newbury (good to soft); conceding 19lb to Yellow Star when pushing that reopposing rival close at Lingfield and again came up short at Kempton when sent up to 2m5f, going down narrowly to a Grade 2 winner; handicap newcomers from this yard are a dangerous species; respected.

Solid performances in a couple of 2m contests, winning at Newbury (good to soft) then close second under a penalty at Lingfield (soft); bred to improve further, being a brother to a useful four-time winner for his connections; major player, assuming he stays this longer distance.

Stoutly bred 5yo; unable to land any sort of blow in three novice/maiden hurdles this year (all 2m, soft) and may not be seen to best effect until moved up in trip but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut and is worth a glance in the betting.
