Lightly raced 6yo who is a bumper winner; respectable third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; handicap debut) in latest hurdles attempt; may show progress, provided he stays this new trip.

Good-ground bumper winner last March and has made the frame in two novice hurdles this season; this nicely bred 6yo is open to progress in handicaps; interesting contender.

Won three-runner course bumper (good; runner-up has done well over hurdles since) last March and made quite promising seasonal/hurdle debut when second (no match for winner) at Hereford (2m, good) in November; moves up in trip today and has a big role to play.

Bought for £140,000 after easy win in an Irish point in October (3m, good to yielding; fair form); hood now tried; stable has a fine record in bumpers with similar sorts; one to consider.

12st 2lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Launched hurdling career with two 2m wins in the autumn (good/soft) but weakened tamely on next two outings (bled from nose last time); up in trip for handicap debut and may still have potential but comes with risk.

Form & Verdict
Fair effort when beaten 17l in 12th of 14 in a Cheltenham bumper (2m, good; 80-1) in October but lesser run at Southwell in December and has plenty to prove for now.

Displayed improvement to score on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m6f) last month but raced too freely and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) three weeks ago; others appeal more.

Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right.
