Showed plenty when runner-up in a brace of French bumpers in 2019 and well worth a market check now going hurdling up in trip for a good yard.

Showed fairly useful form over hurdles in 2017/18, making the frame on several occasions, but his lengthy absence is an obvious concern. Perhaps the market will help.

Brother to fairly useful hurdler Midnight Midge. Better signs in a pair of course novices for new stable but handicaps likely to be more his bag.

Useful on Flat in Ireland, stays 13f, ran up to best last time. Sold from A. Slattery 150,000 gns. Has been gelded/had wind operation and very much one to note on hurdle debut for good stable.

Showed fair form in bumpers, well-held third to a good prospect at Wincanton final outing and should make a jumper. Has had a wind operation since last seen.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Red Devil Star. Did some good late work after looking in need of the experience on Uttoxeter hurdle debut (15.8f) 13 days ago and should improve.

Well held in an Exeter bumper in 2017/18 for Jess Westwood. Sole finisher only outing in points (Apr 2019) subsequently, so makes very little appeal.

Modest form at best in bumpers but showed nothing starting out for this yard after 16 months off here (16.8f) 18 days ago. Hood added for this switch to hurdling.

Forecasts

Metier (9/4), Oneupmanship (11/4), Gold Link (9/2), Hatchet Jack (6/1), Istorius (8/1), Majestic Merlin (11/1), Wavering Down (14/1), Antidote (33/1), Tarrona (50/1), Willies Dream (150/1), Fs Lola (200/1), Sinistry (200/1), Dr Jane (300/1)

Verdict

This doesn't look the strongest of novices so it could be a good opportunity for useful Flat recruit METIER to make a winning start in this sphere. Oneupmanship and Gold Link have both shown ability in bumpers and require a second look now going hurdling.
