Useful Flat racer who posted his career-best performance when placed in valuable handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 94) this summer; gelded last month; looks a very interesting recruit to hurdling.

Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited.

J: Jason Hart

T: James Owen

Caught wide when down the field at Lingfield in February on last Flat start and when well beaten over hurdles on his last two runs he was contesting hot 4yo races; on a competitive mark on last summer's Flat form and he was a Listed hurdle runner-up in October; not ruled out back in this code.

Form & Verdict
Probably ran to similar level of form when third on all three hurdling starts for Emma Lavelle this summer; recently changed hands for 3,200gns; can give another good account on this stable debut but probably needs to improve.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider; just a low-grade handicapper on the Flat but has taken well to hurdling in recent weeks; kept on from off the pace for creditable third of 11 at Ballinrobe (2m2f, soft) 18 days ago and ought to be better suited by the faster ground here; respected.

Disappointed on latest Flat start and is now 0-7 in this sphere but ran to fairly useful level when runner-up in consecutive 1m handicaps in May/June, and it's worth noting he's a half-brother to a useful French jumper.
