Failed to complete on 2 of his 3 starts between the flags, and didn't get beyond the first flight on Rules debut in 21f Warwick maiden hurdles last month.
|
Promise in bumpers and has found only a pair of Paul Nicholls inmates too good on both starts over hurdles, the latest over this C&D in November. Good chance of going one better this time.
|
Runner-up in a bumper on sole outing for Gillian Boanas in 2018. Off 28 months prior to encouraging efforts in this sphere at Wincanton and Warwick, and he remains open to improvement.
|
Well held in a bumper and a couple of runs over hurdles.
|
Runner-up sole start in points last March, but has merely hinted at ability in his 2 starts under Rules.
|
French recruit who stepped up on his British debut effort when third in C&D maiden hurdle won by Rocheston last month, finishing 10 lengths adrift of the runner-up, Champagne Rhythm. Work to do.
|
Shaped well when second in a bumper on debut here in April 2019. Yet to trouble the judge following 3 hurdles starts, though, and he'll be of greater interest when going down the handicap route.
|
Failed to measure up to market expectations on debut in a bumper here last month. Showed more on subsequent hurdles bow, but probably more one for handicaps later on. Yard also saddles Pozo Emery.
|
Good pedigree but made an unpromising start to his career when down the field in an Ascot bumper last month, running green. Goes hurdling now up in trip.
|
Runner-up sole start in Irish points and shaped as if needing the run when third of 13 in a Newton Abbot bumper on Rules debut in October, tying up late on. One to keep an eye on making hurdling bow.
|
£31,000 buy after getting off the mark at the fourth time of asking in points last February. Encouraging third on recent Rules debut in Hereford novice (25.5f) and improvement should be forthcoming.
|
Left previous form behind when fifth in Newbury maiden hurdle (16.3f) won by subsequent Grade 2 winner My Drogo. Going up in trip should help, but he still looks a work in progress.
|
Bred to be ordinary and has only shown a modicum of ability in 2 starts to date.
|
Well held in a bumper on sole start for Tom George and just minor promise in a couple of maiden hurdles for this yard. Another who is likely to show himself in a better light in handicaps later on.

Forecasts
Champagne Rhythm (9/4), De Young Warrior (5/2), Pozo Emery (7/2), Franco D'Aunou (4/1), Sopran Thor (14/1), Ranieri (20/1), Gastara (28/1), Montys Medoc (66/1), That's The Badger (80/1), No Hubs No Hoobs (125/1), Fevertre (125/1), Spotty Dog (150/1), Bigbillrigley (300/1), Dysania (300/1)
A reproduction of CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM's C&D second in November should be enough to see him go one better this time. De Young Warrior and Ranieri are both promising, but the selection may have most to fear from the Paul Nicholls-trained Pozo Emery, who should build on his Rules debut effort in a Newton Abbot bumper now switched to hurdles.
- CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM (IRE)
- POZO EMERY (FR)
- DE YOUNG WARRIOR
