Form & Verdict
70,000euros 2yo and half-brother to a useful winning jumper in France; down the field in two bumpers during the winter but he started his hurdling career with a close second over C&D (good) last month; that was a promising effort and this looks a golden opportunity in this weak race.

11st 11lb

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Neil Mulholland

Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions since and shapes as though this step back up in distance will suit after he got outpaced when fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, good) last month; down to a career-low mark and should not be far away.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Neil Mulholland

After his Fontwell maiden (2m3f, good) last March, he ran well in his first three handicaps but he's taken backward steps in last three runs; on dangerous mark but he was tailed off at Newbury in January and needs a major revival after a break.

Successful in maiden last spring then proved consistent in handicaps until taking backward steps on RPRs the last twice; capable of being involved off current mark, provided he rebounds.

Form & Verdict
Bettered his British bumper form when switched to hurdles in autumn 2023, finishing third in two deep-ground condition contests at Fontainebleau (2m2f); that form puts him in the picture but he missed last year and was soundly beaten when falling at the last on his Uttoxeter (125-1) comeback last month.

T: Nick Gifford

Fairly useful in bumpers in 2022 but off 718 days before pulling up at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; 33-1) on hurdle debut last month; entitled to have improved for that and likely to make his mark over hurdles at some point given his bumper ability but probably best watched at present; tongue-tie added.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Fair form with his two Flat wins (1m2f) in Ireland last year but he was tailed off in both hurdle runs for new yard in December; has plenty to prove after a break and his stablemate Twist Of Fatecatch is the standout contender in this line-up.
