Has gone ok in two starts over hurdles for this yard. Latest in Grade Two at Doncaster before Christmas when not harshly treated and this represents an easier task.
Ex-French colt who was fair on the Flat, first start for new connections here over timber and merits monitoring in the market as a guide to expectations.
Decent strike-rate on the Flat, just denied last month at Ffos Las in maiden hurdle and will be expected to mount a bold bid now.
Forecasts
Buckle Street (9/4), Bishop Of Bling (9/4), Long Call (3/1), Quids In (8/1), Boutan (8/1), Silver Sea (33/1), Banff (66/1), Hongkong Adventure (80/1)
Boutan showed a pleasing aptitude for this game at Ffos Las last month and looks sure to be involved again now, while Quids In can also build on his Wetherby debut in this sphere. Silver Sea is worth a look on his British racecourse bow while Bishop Of Bling should find this assignment easier than at Doncaster last time. LONG CALL is his trainer's only runner here however and he may now be ready to build on the promise of his Fairyhouse debut in November.
