Made a winning debut over hurdles after showing some reasonable form on the Flat (rated 60) in middle-distance handicaps. That contest didn't take a lot of winning however and life may be a little tougher under a penalty here.
So far has looked a much better horse on the Flat than over hurdles. May well be one for handicaps further down the line but not living up to expectations so far over hurdles.
Looking as though he's struggling so far to match his good bumper form over hurdles and although he's been placed four times he does need to improve a little. The weight he receives from Mister Showman may well tip things in his favour.
Chance that this one could do better at some stage of his career having been given a considerate introduction to over hurdles at Kempton Park recently.
Forecasts
Bardd (4/6), Mister Showman (5/2), Argus (9/2), Caviar D'Allen (20/1)
Basically on form this boils down to a match between Mister Showman and BARDD with the weight that the latter is getting tipping the scales in his favour. The other two have plenty to find on form with Caviar D’Allen preferred for the minor placing.
