Brought along gradually in 2018/19 but no impact in 4 handicaps last term. Ran better back in maiden company returning from 10 months off when third at Hereford last month but others preferred.
|
Third in his second bumper last winter but just modest form in a brace of novice hurdles in November. Likely capable of better somewhere down the line.
|
Out of a 17f-21f hurdle/chase winner and shaped with promise when runner-up on debut in a 2½m Ffos Las maiden in November. Should come on for that run and well worth considering.
|
Well beaten in bumpers. Bit more like it over hurdles but he's likely a handicap project.
|
€8,000 3-y-o, Scorpion gelding who went with little promise when tailed off in bumper (33/1) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good) on NH debut back in August. Makes hurdles bow on first start for new yard.
|
Won heavy-ground bumpers at Hereford and Carlisle 11 months apart. Shaped encouragingly on his first try hurdling when runner-up over C&D last month and he's a leading player with progress likely.
|
Heavy-ground bumper winner at Huntingdon in March. Fair form when fourth in both starts over hurdles this term and he should have more to offer.
|
€5,000 3-y-o, resold €3,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Made the frame in Irish points at third attempt last time (Nov 22).

Karl Philippe (1/1), Gladiateur Allen (9/4), Martinhal (10/3), Zafar (5/1), Tip Top Mountain (12/1), Force Ten (14/1), Spotty Dog (25/1), Bring The Action (33/1), Guillemot (40/1), No Drama (125/1), Beau Haze (125/1), Guns For Hire (200/1), Monarch O The Glen (200/1)
The vote goes to KARL PHILIPPE, who won a pair of heavy-ground bumpers and shaped with considerable promise when finishing runner-up on his hurdling bow over C&D last month. With improvement on the cards, he can go one better here. Gladiateur Allen heads up the dangers after his promising second on debut at Ffos Las, with Martinhal and Force Ten completing the shortlist.
