Left his previous efforts behind when running out a comfortable winner of 7-runner novice at Downpatrick (21.5f) in September. Looks the sort to progress again.

All the better for his reappearance when making a winning hurdling debut over C&D 23 days ago, driven out. That form unlikely to prove strong but yard continue to churn out the winners.

Fairly useful on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 1½m. Sold for 17,000 gns but made an unpromising start over hurdles after more than a year off when pulled up at Warwick 19 days ago.

Boasts a cracking pedigree but ran to just a poor level in a Uttoxeter bumper on Rules debut in December. Has run twice in points subsequently, pulled up last time. Wears first-time hood.

Appears a stable lesser light on early evidence. Yard's other runner Rapid Flight looks much more interesting.

Just modest form in bumpers so makes little appeal now going hurdling.

€120,000 Shantou gelding. Settled matters in the style of a good one in a Kempton bumper in February and looks the type to go on to better things over hurdles.

Midnight Legend gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Sunshade. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Close Touch. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Verdict

HOI POLLOI had several subsequent winners behind in a Kempton bumper in February, so he looks an exciting recruit to hurdling for Emma Lavelle. Fancy Foundations is the sort to progress again now he’s up and running, with Rapid Flight a newcomer worthy of great respect.
