Multiple winner up to 2m on the Flat in Norway. Has shown little in two runs here in that discipline and now goes hurdling for the first time.
Showed more temperament than ability on the Flat and no promise when pulled up on sole run over hurdles so hard to be positive about.
Placed in a pair of Point-to-points last year. Looked to have found 2m too sharp when placed in pair of bumpers and will appreciate this longer trip now switching to hurdles. Interesting contender.
Moderate form in a pair of bumpers when with Stuart Crawford but has had wind operation since last seen and now sports a tongue-tie for hurdling debut. Market should guide on first run for good yard.
No promise in pair of soft ground bumpers including the latest for this stable, and will need this switch to obstacles to transform him on the evidence to date.
Three wins on the Flat up to 1m4f and rated 96 in that level. Beaten at 8/11 on hurdles debut for Dan Skelton last year. Now with another trainer off the back of a wind operation and tries a tongue-tie for the first time.
Placed in pair of soft ground Point-to-points but pulled much too hard when tailed off in Chepstow bumper in the winter so plenty to prove now going over hurdles.
Two wins at up to 1m4f on the Flat when with Archie Watson (often highly tried). Tailed off only run over hurdles but bled from the nose on that occasion and wind operation since so entitles o do better.
Well beaten in pair of bumpers at huge odds in January and not hard to look elsewhere now trying hurdles for the first time.
Didn't show much in sole bumper contest but shaped with promise on hurdles debut at Southwell recently when not knocked about in fifth. The second and third have both won since and this longer trip will help. Solid chance.
Poor form and not progressing in bumpers including debut for this stable last time and needs the switch to hurdles to bring about big improvement.
Won a 1m3f bumper in France prior to coming over here. Bled on British debut over hurdles, but better when 7L third in first-time hood over 2m here a fortnight ago. Still open to improvement and now stepping up 3f in distance.
Forecasts
You Name Him (3/1), Gaot (7/2), Now Children (4/1), Courtandbould (11/2), Yabass (6/1), High Renown (9/1), Sponthus (18/1), Baltic Eagle (18/1), Especially So (125/1), Midnight Jewel (150/1), Joint Account (150/1), Bonjour (250/1)
Not a particularly strong race and it may be worth taking a chance with YOU NAME HIM who wasn't knocked about on latest and that form has been well franked since. Gaot was better here last time, and along with Courtandbould, who will relish this longer trip, may follow the selection home.
