Promise both starts in bumpers and left his hurdling debut effort well behind to get off the mark at the second attempt over C&D 44 days ago. Should be competitive under a penalty.

No form on the Flat and was probably flattered in appearing to show more over hurdles in a novice at Perth last week.

Just minor promise so far and probably one for handicaps after this.

Showed some promise sole outing in bumpers, but has done nothing of the sort on both starts in this sphere. Handicaps presumably up after this.

2/5
Useful dual bumper winner in 2018/19 who shaped well under a considerate ride returning from a long absence when third in a novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f) in February. Sure to improve and win races.

Seemed to take a sizeable step forward when second 13 lengths second of 8 to Wetlands in a novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f) last time, though how solid the form proves remains to be seen.

Has shaped like a stayer in a pair of bumpers so looks worth taking on kept to this trip for hurdles debut.

Forecasts

Nobby (2/5), Jante Law (5/2), Our Percy (17/2), Large Action (20/1), Legal Beagle (28/1), Geonice (33/1), My Macho Man (50/1), Shoeshine Boy (66/1), Sugar Butties (80/1), Storm Tiger (100/1), Harry Go (100/1), Deerfoot (125/1), Ribeye (200/1), Kinerton Hill (300/1)

Verdict

Very hard to look beyond NOBBY, who made an encouraging hurdling debut/return in a much stronger affair than this at Newbury in February and can improve. Jante Law should be competitive under his penalty in a race lacking depth.
