Showed plenty of promise when runner-up on only start in bumpers, but offered little on Plumpton hurdle debut 3 months later and likely to be brought along steadily now.
|
£55,000 Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Time Is Time. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 35f) Cappa Bleu. Failed to complete all point starts.
|
Promise in bumpers and fairly useful form over hurdles, placed all 4 starts in maidens, latest over C&D 36 days ago. Sets the standard.
|
Produced a promising first effort when third of 13 in a Fontwell bumper in November, but pulled up sharply a circuit out on Carlisle hurdling debut last week.
|
Fair maiden hurdler who ran below form back in maiden company at Hereford last time. Cheekpieces back on but every chance he'll find this test too sharp again.
|
Milan gelding who looks to be being brought along gradually and will do better somewhere down the line.
|
£15,000 5-y-o, Sans Frontieres gelding. Dam (h88), maiden hurdler, 9.6f winner on Flat. Placed in points at second attempt last time (May 2019).
|
€155,000 buy after winning sole outing in Irish points. Failed to progress from his hurdling debut when only sixth of 12 in 2½m Ffos Las novice 3 weeks ago, but it remains early days.
|
Runner-up in point but little impact in 2 novice hurdles.
|
Multiple point winner (runner-up when last seen 11 months ago) but could only manage a fair fourth in Cheltenham hunter when last seen under Rules. Likely up against it.
|
Down the field in Ascot bumper/Exeter maiden hurdle, though did make some headway from midfield home turn last time. Up in trip.
|
Bumper winner for Julie Camacho and encouraging hurdling/stable debut when collared late in a mares' novice over C&D in October. Disappointing at Wincanton next time but has since had a wind op.
|
Didn't go without promise in bumpers for previous yards and made an encouraging start over hurdles after a layoff when second at Lingfield. Fell first at Bangor next time, so remains with potential.

Forecasts
Champagne Rhythm (6/4), Kingsplace (9/2), Paris Dixie (5/1), Red Lion Lad (6/1), Strike Hollow (9/1), Gulliver Collonges (20/1), Sixty Dollars More (20/1), Sixteen Letters (28/1), Lanspark (40/1), Albert Hucklebuck (50/1), Russian Invasion (50/1), Profile Picture (150/1), Bellamys Belle (150/1), Balinesker Beach (250/1)
CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM is proving expensive to follow but he does set the standard and is worth one more chance. Paris Dixie may get her career back on track after a wind operation/break, while it's still early days for Red Lion Lad.
