Showed ability on his only start in bumpers and made his second hurdle outing a winning one in the manner of a potentially useful novice here (21.8f) last month. Open to further improvement.
|
Looked promising when making a winning debut in a 4-runner Sandown novice in December. Took a step in the wrong direction at Newbury since, but that was a good race.
|
Showed a bit in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when sixth of 18 in 16.8f Exeter maiden last month, staying on gradually. Unlikely to be of interest this side of handicaps, though.
|
Showed fair form on second bumper outing and ran to a similar level when third in 2m novice hurdle at Chepstow on yard debut in November. Tongue tie back on and may do better still.
|
Brian Boru gelding. Dam, little impact in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Houghton Bay. Maiden pointer, last of 8 finishers last time (Dec 12).
|
Winning pointer at second attempt but has shown nothing either start under Rules (novice/maiden hurdle).
|
Well held in Newbury bumper/Wincanton novice hurdle, though did hint at ability last time.
|
Mustameet gelding. Dam unraced out of half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Lion Na Bearnai. Winning pointer, made frame last time (Mar 2020).
|
Well held in a course bumper and has run to only a modest level in a couple of hurdle starts at Plumpton (20.5f).
|
€45,000 Presenting gelding. Shaped like a stayer on his only start in bumpers but went with little promise sent hurdling at Bangor 6 weeks later.
|
Prolific point winner, runner-up last time (Feb 20), but ran to only a modest level on only previous start under Rules for John Joseph Hanlon back in June 2018.
|
Bred to stay well and shaped in kind in 2m Chepstow novice on debut last month, staying on gradually. Open to improvement over this longer trip, but may well be brought along steadily.
|
Flemensfirth mare. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler On Raglan Road and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Overthetop. Little impact in 2 points, fell last time (Mar 2020).

Beauport (11/8), Golden Boy Grey (11/4), Whatya On About (10/3), Calvario (11/2), Aeronisi (20/1), Manhattan Bullet (28/1), Drakes Well (50/1), Streets Of London (50/1), Danny Park (66/1), Alberts Monarch (66/1), Representing Bob (100/1), Advance To Go (100/1), Danilo D'Airy (200/1), Coastal Capers (250/1)
BEAUPORT made it second time lucky over hurdles in the manner of a potentially useful novice here last month and looks up to defying a penalty on that evidence. Golden Boy Grey took a step in the wrong direction at Newbury, but it's worth pointing out that was a good race, with Calvario clear pick of the remainder for a yard that has just turned a corner.
