Keep Off The Sugar

11st 4lb

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Jimmy Frost

Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround.

Close fifth of eight at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last March on sole run for Eve Johnson Houghton but tailed off at 125-1 there (good to soft) just 12 days ago on debut for this yard; a hood goes on; hard to fancy.
