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.
|
Little impact in a pair of novice hurdles.
|
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.
|
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.
|
Little show in bumper/novice hurdles.
|
Has shaped like a stayer in a pair of bumpers so looks worth taking on kept to this trip for hurdles debut.
|
Successful on sole outing in points but was well held in a C&D novice hurdle on Rules debut in March.
|
Fair Flat winner for John Quinn but has finished down the field in a pair of juvenile hurdles.
|
Looks a longer-term project judged on early evidence.

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)
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.
