Form & Verdict

Dual bumper winner (both good to soft), the latest at Cheltenham this time last year; returned there to be beaten at odds-on on his hurdling debut last November, when over 9l third; in good hands and has shown he goes well when fresh; stable in good form and he remains of interest.

Irish point winner who has shown a good degree of ability in winning two bumpers on testing ground; half-brother Git Maker has sufficient speed to have won two of his hurdles at about 2m, so the portents look good for this hurdling debut, with any further rain a plus.
