Bumper winner in Ireland and won on his hurdles debut at Ffos Las for current connections on soft ground. Upped in class last time at Cheltenham (Grade 2) and not knocked about when finishing a respectable fourth. Capable of better and will appreciate this drop in grade.
Won on his point debut (ran three time in that sphere) and has shown useful form over hurdles in two starts so far. Won in testing conditions at Southwell on his last start looking a thorough stayer who will always appreciate a stamina test.
Won Irish maiden point on debut and has shown some fair form over hurdles so far winning at Hexham in October over 2m. Steps up in trip here and a little to find with the other two here on the balance of form.
Forecasts
Impulsive Star (4/6), Nobuttaboy (2/1), Same Circus (7/1)
IMPULSIVE STAR takes a step back in grade here after testing the water in a higher class last time out but he remains open to improvement in a tough little heat. Nobuttaboy has done little wrong over hurdles so far and he also has room for improvement although he hasn’t quite been as tested so far. Same Circus has something to find on bare form with the two main protagonists here but she adds to an interesting contest.
1. Impulsive Star
2. Nobuttaboy
3. Same Circus
