Entitled to win his maiden at Plumpton last time (2m4f, good to soft) and unlikely that represented significant improvement, if any; however, has shown he can be competitive off this mark so has to be on the radar.

Ran himself into the ground over 2m at Huntingdon (soft) a fortnight ago but previously finished a solid third of 14 in Catterick handicap (about 2m3f, good) in December; that better form gives him claims.

Not too much encouragement in three maiden hurdles at up to 2m4f but there was a whiff of something on penultimate start and this new trip might help on her handicap debut.

May have made the frame but for a late fall in a 3m Irish point one year ago, and faced a stiff task when pulled up behind some useful opposition on October's hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good); off since but faces a much easier here now up in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Well-related Malinas gelding who has shown promise in a point and over hurdles; bled from the nose when finishing a well-held fifth at Lingfield in November but an earlier Stratford third (2m, good to soft) reads well; worth considering with the longer trip expected to suit.

Third in a 3m Irish point and this stoutly bred gelding ran well to be third at Stratford as 2m around there was always going to be on the sharp side; has a future.

Third in Irish point (3m, good to yielding) in April, form advertised by the runner-up since; brother to useful hurdle/chase winner but he has lots of stamina in pedigree and this trip is not sure to suit on rules debut.

Runner-up on sole start in a point (2m5f, good) in May and rules/bumper and stable debut in October wasn't without promise, albeit weak in the market; this longer trip should suit now switching to hurdles and he's worth considering.
