Fairly useful Flat winner for David Simcock, second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton. Notable recruit to hurdling for quality stable.

Fair on Flat, stays 1¾m, won handicap in November. Took pretty well to hurdling when third to Fiveandtwenty over C&D on New Year's Day, but needs more.

Has made excellent start as a hurdler, landing juvenile events at Sedgefield and Wetherby. Cheekpieces on when good second of 8 at Cheltenham (16.8f) 57 days ago. Solid claims with headgear retained.

Improved when opening his account on second start for this yard in a juvenile hurdle at Catterick in December but only fourth behind Fiveandtwenty over C&D last time. Up against it.

Fair maiden on Flat in Germany and left hurdling debut form well behind when off the mark in juvenile at Sedgefield 3 months ago. Open to improvement, so can't be completely dismissed.

Fair on Flat form Clive Cox and half-brother to Italian jumps winner Napoli Molticolori (by Iffraaj). Stiff task for his hurdling debut, though.

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Mark Johnston and has relished the switch to hurdling, landing a couple of C&D events in comfortable fashion. Makes plenty of appeal up in grade.

Forecasts

Fiveandtwenty (6/4), Wise Glory (3/1), Historic Heart (5/1), Carlos Felix (5/1), Kings Creek (14/1), Feldspar (22/1), Le Magnifique (28/1), Willy Nilly (100/1)

Verdict

WISE GLORY was above-average on the Flat and arguably still on the up when last seen, so a chance is taken on him to make a successful hurdling debut having left Simon Crisford and joined a top NH stable. Fiveandtwenty is the clear form pick based on what's been achieved in this discipline, so he's an obvious danger along with Historic Heart.

  1. WISE GLORY (IRE)
  2. FIVEANDTWENTY
  3. HISTORIC HEART (IRE)
