Betfred 'Follow Us On Twitter' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle

Seemingly stronger with experience over hurdles, and shaped adequately when runner up over C&D on his penultimate outing early last month (good). Well held by Symphony of Angels after forcing the pace at Southwell latest, but drops back into a maiden hurdle today.

A eight race maiden in Point-to-Points for various trainers with a number of pulled up's next to his name. Just the sole start under rules for Adrian Wintle at Cartmel (2m6f) in July 2016 which also failed to yield any promise. Cheek-pieces tried for the first time.

Placed on both starts over hurdles to date at Wincanton and Huntingdon, and likely to encounter similar conditions today (good, good to firm). However, those races lacked any strength in depth with winners priced at 1/4f and 1/14f, and he lacked any real fluency over his hurdles latest.

Showed next to nothing in two starts in bumpers, and no better in two starts over hurdles (both at Huntingdon). Needs to settle far better than he did when last of six to Ocean Jive in a similar maiden hurdle last month.
