Made a winning debut when taking a soft ground bumper over 2m at Newcastle last December. Bred to appreciate further in time but is one to note on hurdling debut.
Decent fifth in a bumper over an extended 1m7f at Catterick (good-to-soft) when debuting in December but disappointed in similar conditions at Musselburgh subsequently. Interesting to see how he fares on first start over hurdles.
Soft ground bumper winner for John Quinn at Ayr last year and placed twice over hurdles subsequently including over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good-to-soft) in March. One for the shortlist on debut for this yard.
Victorious over 1m on the Flat in 2018 and has placed on turf and on the AW since. Beaten 7L when finishing seventh over 1m3f at Kemptonlast month on his most recent start and is worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.
Placed in a bumper at Perth (2m, good-to-soft) for Stuart Crawford in April last year but has struggled in the main since joining this yard including when 26L eighth on hurdling debut at Hereford (2m, soft) in March.
Impressive point-to-point bumper winner at Revesby Park (2m, good-to-soft) in January but has finished well beaten in two hurdles starts for this yard subsequently. Others make more appeal.
Best effort in three starts for previous yard came when finishing 22L third in a bumper at Down Royal (2m1f, soft-to-heavy) in December. Market support would be notable switched to hurdles on debut for this yard.
Successful over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford in February but has finished held on both subsequent starts. Probably best watched on first start over hurdles.
Soft ground winner on the Flat last year and finished a decent 6½L seventh on debut for this yard at Pontefract (2m1f, good) last month. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained and he is of interest on first attempt at hurdles.
Struggled in three starts over hurdles since joining this yard most recently when 77L last over ten over an extended 2m at Doncaster (good) in February. Others hold more obvious claims.
Well held in both completed starts over hurdles including wehn 39L fifth over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good-to-soft) in March. Represents a top yard but is probably best watched at present.

Trainer Olly Murphy has made a tremendous start to the new jumps season saddling a four-timer on the opening day at Southwell and his GINISTRELLI can continue the yards good form with a victory in the first division of the novices' hurdle. The selection showed ability on soft ground on the Flat and is taken to see off Dusty's Choice who has placed on his two most recent outings and is making his debut for a useful stable. Aire Valley Lad showed ability when taking a bumper late last year and he can claim third on his debut over jumps.
