Showed ability when third in a bumper at Exeter on debut on December. Not at that level twice since, including over hurdles and now upped in trip.

Tailed off in a Fontwell bumper on debut in October so easily passed over.

Timeform
Modest in bumpers, showing a bit more than previously when 11¼ lengths third of 5 at Exeter last time, disputing lead until fading over 2f out. Wears first-time cheekpieces for hurdle debut.

Double Eclipse gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 7f/1m winner Thot. Dam unraced. Multiple point winner, held when unseated rider last time (Dec 2020). Wears tongue strap.

Timeform
Overcame inexperience to land gamble in Hexham bumper on debut in June 2019. Went the wrong way 22 months on at Warwick so bit to prove now going hurdling up in trip.

Is going the right way over hurdles and ran another blinder when second in a 3m handicap at Chepstow 19 days ago, going with bags of enthusiasm. The one to beat.

Of little account.

Pulled up both starts in points but ran to a fair level when second on Plumpton hurdling debut (20.5f) 38 days ago, despite looking in need of the experience. May do better.

Jeremy gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Pres. Dam point winner. Placed on point debut, every chance when falling last next time (Nov 2020). Respected newcomer.

Forecasts

Johnny B (5/6), Presenting Jeremy (5/2), No Fixed Charges (7/2), Father John (12/1), Deep Inferno (40/1), Barbarian (66/1), Every Breakin Wave (125/1), Benny Flies High (200/1), Mighty Mustang (250/1)

Verdict

JOHNNY B sets a decent standard and should prove hard to beat back in novice company. Presenting Jeremy is an interesting newcomer for the Skeltons, while No Fixed Charges made a satisfactory start to his Rules career at Plumpton.

  1. JOHNNY B (IRE)
  2. PRESENTING JEREMY (IRE)
  3. NO FIXED CHARGES (IRE)
