17/2

Modest on Flat, stays 1½m, won seller last time. Has joined an in-form yard ahead of hurdle debut so has to be respected.

11/10

Lost all chance at start only outing on Flat but shaped much better sent hurdling when second of 8 to Koi Dodville (winner again since) at Hexham (16.2f) 13 days ago. Open to improvement.

No form in maidens on Flat. Others appeal more.

11/10

Most Improved gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Parikarma. Dam 1m winner. In excellent hands so worthy of plenty of respect on hurdle debut.

Poor maiden on the Flat so makes little appeal on this switch to hurdling.

FAMILY TIME shaped much better than on his sole appearance on the Flat sent hurdling when second at Hexham 13 days ago and possesses the physical scope to improve, so he gets the nod over Knotty Ash, who commands plenty of respect making his debut for a top yard. Andonno is also worth a look for an improving stable too.
