Dylan Thomas gelding who showed a bit when fifth in a Market Rasen bumper (16.5f) in September. However, probably best watched making hurdling debut.

Confirmed debut promise when landing bumper at Market Rasen (16.5f) in December. Definite promise when fourth on hurdles bow at Newbury in March and open to significant improvement.

Placed twice in bumpers and reached the frame in couple of maiden hurdles this summer (modest form). Well beaten on handicap debut last time though, and bounce back called for.

2/1
Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Thomas Mullins who ran up to best when second in a Newton Abbot novice (16.7f) on yard debut last month. No surprise to see him firmly in the mix again.

Timeform
Fair maiden on Flat at best but hard to draw any positives from hurdling exploits last month. Similarly well below form back on the level last time.

Forecasts

Italian Spirit (8/13), Loved Out (2/1), Storm Arcadio (17/2), Dellboy Trotter (28/1), City Escape (50/1), Grenadier Guard (200/1)

Verdict

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, ITALIAN SPIRIT shaped with abundant promise when running on for fourth in a Newbury novice hurdle back in the spring, whilst considerately handled. Open to significant improvement, he can take this on return, with Loved Out, who is proving most consistent, rating the clear danger.

  1. ITALIAN SPIRIT (IRE)
  2. LOVED OUT (IRE)
  3. STORM ARCADIO (IRE)
