Looks a very exciting prospect having won a Warwick bumper and a Lingfield novice hurdle with loads in hand. Open to significant improvement and will take plenty of beating.

Dr Massini gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Paint The Dream. Unplaced sole start in points (Apr 2019).

Showed ability in a pair of bumpers in October but needs more on switch to hurdling if he's to figure.

€90,000 3-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to useful bumper winner/smart hurdler Captain Cutter and fair hurdler Yes Daddy. Nice pedigree and from a good yard, so market check advised.

Timeform
Winning pointer who showed more on his second hurdle start over C&D 11 days ago, but handicaps will be more his bag.

Useful form over fences in France, improving when 3½ lengths second of 6 in Group 2 Prix Jean Stern at Auteuil (21.9f) last time. Interesting recruit for new yard.

Winning pointer but looks one for handicaps later on judged on early evidence.

Forecasts

Bear Ghylls (30/100), Road Senam (10/3), Gowel Road (11/1), Freddie Darling (11/1), Magnificent Ben (40/1), Go Pharisee Flyer (66/1), The Boat (80/1), Triple Nickle (100/1), Gats And Co (100/1), Sing The Anthem (150/1), Blueberg (200/1), Imhotep (200/1)

Verdict

BEAR GHYLLS confirmed himself a very exciting prospect when scoring easily on his Lingfield hurdling debut last month, and ought to take plenty of beating under a penalty. Road Senam is the obvious threat having shown useful form over fences in France, though newcomer Gowel Road is worth a market check.

  2. ROAD SENAM (FR)
  3. GOWEL ROAD (IRE)
