Bumper winner who confirmed himself an above average prospect with a comfortable hurdle success over 19f at Fontwell. Unseated rider fourth there next time, so remains with potential.

Clearly had an issue or 2 but was well prepared to make 3rd Rules start a winning one after 8 months off at Ffos Las. Found out in stronger company since but respected now returning to calmer waters.

Well-bred and fetched €105,000 as a 3-y-o, but hasn't offered a great deal in a pair of bumpers

Good pedigree and showed more than first time up (in a bumper) when sixth of 14 in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) last month. Should improve.

Won completed start in Irish points and showed fairly useful form in finding only one too good both starts over hurdles to end 2019. Remains open to improvement back from a break.

Forecasts

Sending Love (2/1), Only The Bold (9/4), Sir Sholokhov (7/2), Ballingers Corner (9/2), Lord Accord (11/2), Animal (8/1), Voyage De Retour (40/1), No Hubs No Hoobs (50/1), Breakwater Buoy (50/1), Just A Cracker (250/1)

Verdict

LORD ACCORD's hurdling debut win has worked out well and he remains with potential back from a break, so he looks as appealing as any. Sir Sholokhov seems likely to build on his Newbury performance, especially with his yard now showing signs of a revival, while Sending Love and Ballingers Corner are others to consider.

  1. LORD ACCORD (IRE)
  2. SIR SHOLOKHOV (IRE)
  3. SENDING LOVE (IRE)
