Unbeaten in two starts over hurdles since joining this yard. Victorious over 2m4f at Perth (good) in July and had won over the same trip here prior to that. One to note dropping in distance.
Bumper winner on soft ground last March and a good fourth in a Grade 2 bumper subsequently. .Off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good-to-soft) last month and likely to run well once more.
Placed in a couple of bumpers but finished 32L sixth on hurdling debut at Plumpton (2m, good) earlier this month and is probably best watched at present.
Unraced son of Gold Well bough for £35,000 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to the useful Paisley Park and market support would be interesting on debut.
Promising fourth in a 2m bumper at Warwick (soft) in March last year. Absent since and likely to improve for this hurdling debut.
Forecasts
Al Dancer (30/100), Montanna (6/1), Saint De Vassy (9/1), On The Rox (20/1), Looks Frozen (33/1), Present Value (40/1), Bredon Hill Leo (66/1)
The two previous hurdles winners look the pick in this seven runner novice hurdle with preference for AL DANCER whow as victorious at Carlisle last time. He is taken to get the better of Montanna who has to concede weight to his year older rival. Third place can go to On The Rox who was a bumper winner on the AW earlier this year.
