J: Ciaran Gethings

Irish point winner who scored on his second start over hurdles at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November; improved again, chasing home one who has won twice since, at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) the following month; sports a first-time tongue-tie and should be hard to beat.

Odds-on winner in January in his third Irish point (3m, yielding) and sold for £65,000 later that month; out of a half-sister to top-class chaser Frodon and he needs watching in the market on rules debut.

Has a consistent record, latterly over 2m4f with win at Market Rasen (good to soft) then respectable sixth in big novice handicap at Sandown; gives the impression he'll be as effective back down in trip; the form pick.

Represents the same trainer and jockey combination as last year's winner, Laurens Bay; beaten a neck by Precious Metal at Lingfield in December but off the mark at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) seven weeks later, not hard pressed to assert; has to be considered.

Third in all three bumpers last season and close second in two Lingfield hurdles this term (2m3f/2m, good to soft); that hurdling form puts him right in the thick of things here, and he probably still has potential.

Form & Verdict
Only 7l away when third in an Irish point in April and later recruited for £32,000; that form could be okay, as the winner later joined the Moores for £100,000 (unraced since) and the runner-up has won a maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott.
