Dual winner over hurdles including over C&D on good ground here in May. Followed up at Uttoxeter next time and is one for the shortlist in a first time tongue tie having fallen in a handicap contest last time out.
Maiden hurdle winner at Towcester (2m3f, good-to-soft) prior to finishing fourth at Uttoxeter (good) last time out. Should stay this trip and is an interesting runner today.
Winning for the first time when coming home 26L clear of three rivals in a Southwell (good) bumper in April. Had some solid form in bumpers prior to that and represents a leading stable on hurdling debut.
Fell late on in a point-to-point in Ireland in March but failed to beat a rival home on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) earlier this month and others make more appeal.
Failed to win in seven point-to-point starts and well beaten in three outings over hurdles this autumn. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.
Fair effort when finishing 14L seventh of nine in a Chepstow (good) bumper on debut last month. Likely needs to improve on that if he's to register a victory on today's hurdling debut.
Ran well to finish runner-up in a maiden point-to-point at Black Forest Lodge (good-to-soft) in February last year. Unseen since and probably best watched on his rules debut following a long absence.
Placed twice in maiden point-to-points earlier this year but finished well beaten in a Huntingdon bumper on good ground when making his debut under rules in April. Making his seasonal and hurdles debut today.
Forecasts
Colonial Dreams (6/4), Robin The Raven (13/8), Crucial Role (3/1), Scarborough Boy (10/1), Taken By Force (33/1), One Leader (50/1), Garrane (100/1), Cranbrook Causeway (100/1)
COLONIAL DREAMS is improving with racing and having put in a career best effort when winning a Southwell bumper in April he can make a winning debut for the in form (12/47) Nicky Henderson yard in this novices hurdle. The selection can be given most to do by the penalised runner Robin The Raven who has run to a good level of form so far and can claim second having won two of his four hurdles outings to date. Crucial Role is taken to finish third having put in a promising effort on his return to action at Uttoxeter at the start of the month.
