Bought for €145,000 after winning sole start in Irish points in April and shaped as if better for the run when fourth on hurdles bow at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago. Bound to improve.

Made a winning debut in a Warwick bumper in March. In the process of running well when departing 2 out on hurdling bow at Bangor on return, set for a clear second. Big player.

€52,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Promising fifth in bumper at Wincanton on debut on Boxing Day. Reportedly bled when pulled up next time. Remains with potential now hurdling on return. Hooded.

Showed ability when third of 9 in bumper at Ludlow (14f, heavy) but failed to build on that next time. Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut.

Kamsin gelding. Strong in the betting and duly looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience and the run of the race in Newton Abbot bumper last month. Likely big player on hurdles bow.

Good pedigree and left debut form behind when landing a bumper in convincing fashion at Chepstow despite tack problems. Well held in Grade 2 at Aintree final start but respected now hurdling.

Bred to have ability but there's been no sign of it in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle.

Forecasts

Black Poppy (6/5), Iberio (11/4), Mot A Mot (3/1), Anyharminasking (8/1), The Texan (14/1), Earth Star (22/1), Patient Owner (40/1), Extraordinary Man (66/1), Francisco Bay (150/1), Vivre Pour Vivre (200/1), Tre A Peni (400/1)

Verdict

IBERIO looked a good prospect when justifying strong support in a Newton Abbot bumper last month and it's interesting that he's sent hurdling straight away. Black Poppy was set for a clear second when falling 2 out on hurdles bow at Bangor and rates a big threat along with fellow-bumper winner Mot A Mot.

  1. IBERIO (GER)
  2. BLACK POPPY
  3. MOT A MOT (FR)
