Good pointing family and third sole start in Irish points himself in Dec 2019. Could manage only fifth in a Huntingdon in March, but will be suited by this much longer trip now hurdling.

Pulled up on sole outing in points, but produced a promising first effort in this sphere (hooded) when second in big-field maiden at Navan (20f) in January. Open to improvement for new yard.

Shaped with some encouragement in a brace of bumpers last season so he’s no forlorn hope by any means now stepping up markedly in trip on hurdles debut.

€45,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Two Swallows. Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Southwell on debut in March, but can't be written off. Has had a wind op.

Well held sole outing in bumpers, but steadily progressive over hurdles, finishing never-nearer third at Navan (20f) on final outing in March. Subsequently sold for £32,000 and should stay 3m.

Won sole start in Irish points and showed a bit when fourth in a Wetherby bumper on Rules debut in March, despite looking ungainly. Has had a wind operation ahead of hurdle debut/return.

Forecasts

Fair Frontieres (5/4), The Grand Visir (9/4), His Oscar (4/1), Dan's Chosen (11/2), Tea For Free (7/1), Le Grand Lion (15/2), Night In Manhattan (14/1), Paddy Husseys Taxi (20/1), Sir Jack West (25/1), Holy Gunner (50/1), Midnight Wave (100/1)

Verdict

FAIR FRONTIERES lost out only narrowly to a useful type in a big-field maiden hurdle at Navan in March, so he looks the one to beat with further progress on the cards for his new stable. The Grand Visir doesn't look like he'll reach the level he has on the Flat over hurdles, but he's still shown enough to suggest he's capable of winning a race or 2. His Oscar is a respected Rules newcomer.
