Your Support Saves Lives 24/7 - magpas.org.uk Handicap Hurdle

Last seen winning over fences in the spring and now back over hurdles for the first time since May 2017 and runs off 10lb lower than on that occasion. Yet to race beyond 2m5f over timber but this longer trip brought out his best effort over fences.

Handicapper slow to show leniency and losing run now goes back to April 2016. Yard struggling for winners at present and rider having just third career ride.

His second to Arty Campbell at Hereford on penultimate start puts him in the equation and not beaten far at Fontwell since. Yet to race over this far but looks worth a go at it.

Creditable second at Ayr on Monday on debut for this stable as was given plenty to do in a race where the winner made all. Cheek pieces back on now and a repeat effort will see him involved.

Runner up once in a Point-to-point but has shown nothing in three runs over hurdles and needs this switch to handicaps over further to have a positive effect.

Jumped poorly when last seen over a year ago and has plenty to prove at present after an absence, not least his stamina for this much longer trip.

Hasn't shown much over hurdles but Point-to-point win in 2016 was gained on good ground and has had a wind operation since last seen in May. Tongue tie now also goes on probably worth a look at in market.

Blinkers now replace the usual cheek pieces. Didn't run too badly on debut for this stable in August but out of sorts all three runs since and not hard to look elsewhere.
