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.

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.

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)
