Placed in a soft ground novice hurdle over an extended 2m at Newbury in March last year. Well beaten in two subsequent starts however but interesting on debut for this yard with a tongue tie tried on first start since wind surgery.
Good third in a bumper over an extended 1m7f here on debut in August 2016. Didn't jump well prior to unseating at Aintree last month on his only subsequent start.
Built on a couple of promising second place finishes when winning a bumper over an extended 2m at Stratford (good) last month. Hails from a useful yard and is one to note on hurdling debut.
Point-to-point bumper winner by 5L on soft ground at Bangor in March. Disappointed in a bumper at Exeter (2m1f, good-to-soft) on debut for this yard in April and interesting to see how he fares on hurdles debut.
Pulled up in a point-to-point over 2m4f at Sheriff Hutton (good) at the end of March. Probably best watched on Rules and stable debut.
Forecasts
Stony Stream (11/10), Article Fifty (5/4), Whenhellbrokeloose (5/1), Real King (33/1), Miss Charlton (50/1), Teals Lad (100/1)
STONY STREAM showed some decent form in bumpers and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking over hurdles in this maiden contest. Article Fifty has joined a top yard and he can take second on his return from wind surgery while third place can go to Whenhellbrokeloose who is making his hurdling debut.
