Signs of ability in three starts over hurdles so far most recently when fourth at Kempton (2m, good) in April. One for the shortlist on his handicap debut today.
Made a winning debut for this yard over an extended 2m at Stratford (good) last month. Decent efforts twice since including behind an in form rival last time out and one to note today.
Winner of his only start over hurdles so far at Ludlow (good-to-firm) in October last year. Placed once in three Flat starts since and interesting to see how he fares on handicap debut.
Placed on three of his four hurdles starts so far including when 14L second over 2m3f at Fontwell (good-to-firm) in June. Placed on the Flat since and one to note on handicap debut.
Six race maiden and put in a career best effort when fourth of nine over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off the same mark today and yard are in great form of late (4/8).
Sole victory over hurdles came at Fakenham on soft ground in November 2015. Some fair efforts on the Flat of late but more needed on first hurdles run in nearly two years.
In good form this year winning at Uttoxeter (good) and Fakenham (good-to-soft) in the spring prior to finishing runner-up at Exeter (2m1f, good) on his most recent start. One for the shortlist on handicap debut
Successful three times over hurdles though the last two have come in selling handicaps. Held off a 3lb higher mark last time out and others have a more obvious chance.
Best effort since winning over an extended 2m at Taunton (good-to-firm) in April came when 1L second over C&D on good ground earlier this month. Interesting to see how he fares following a 5lb rise.

Nightfly (5/2), Inn The Bull (5/1), Glimpse Of Gold (6/1), New Millennium (7/1), Berry De Carjac (8/1), Captain George (8/1), Trapper Peak (8/1), Craig Star (10/1), Frozen Over (12/1), Galuppi (33/1)
GLIMPSE OF GOLD can register a third victory in his last four outings by taking this concluding handicap hurdle. The selection was in good form when last seen in action back in April and is taken to get the better of the consistent Craig Star who has placed on his last two starts. Of the remainder the handicap debutant New Millennium has run to a decent level and can claim third.
