Well backed and took a big step forward with victory in extended 2m Hereford novice hurdle in November. Solid efforts under a penalty since and he ought to run well once again.

Bangor novice hurdle winner who ran his best race yet carrying a penalty after 10 weeks off when second at Doncaster (16.6f) 32 days ago, albeit having run of race.

3/1
Left hurdling debut form well behind when running out a ready winner of a Southwell novice (15.8f) 36 days ago. That form has taken a few knocks but he's likely to progress further.

Fairly useful at best on Flat but showed nothing on Sedgefield hurdling/yard debut 26 days ago.

Brother to very smart hurdler Bacardys. Fourth on his sole start in points but his brief move came to nothing in a Bangor bumper on Rules debut, perhaps unsuited by the very testing conditions.

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling after 13 months off when fourth in a Newcastle maiden (16.2f) 32 days ago. Entitled to improve.

Signs of ability but handicaps over longer trips will be more his bag.

Forecasts

Across The Line (6/5), Get Your Own (3/1), Away At Dawn (9/2), Fletch (5/1), Largy Mouth (11/2), Obey The Rules (12/1), Quinta Do Mar (16/1), Johnny Mac (33/1), Rock On Tommy (50/1), Fusionice (50/1), Shutthegate (66/1), Dubai Instinct (80/1), Geomatrician (125/1), King Frank (200/1)

Verdict

ACROSS THE LINE wasn't disgraced behind a smart prospect at Taunton last time and may well be up to defying a penalty against this weaker opposition. Get Your Own was quite impressive at Southwell and is likely to progress further, with Largy Mouth and Fletch others to consider.

  1. ACROSS THE LINE (IRE)
  2. GET YOUR OWN (IRE)
  3. LARGY MOUTH
