Much improved from return/hurdles debut when winning 2m Uttoxeter maiden in the mud easily 3 weeks ago. Return to this longer trip will suit and he can go well again under a penalty.

Fairly useful on the Flat but looked a hard ride back from 6 months off on hurdles debut for this yard at Sedgefield.

Successful debut in Listowel bumper for John Cahill in September, showing plenty of speed and winning under hands and heels. That was a promising start and he looks a good prospect for hurdles.

Runner-up in Limerick claiming hurdle on final start for Joseph O'Brien in May. Well below that level starting out for this yard at Newton Abbot in July and not seen since.

€14,000 buy from the family of useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Beroni. Placed in Irish points at second attempt last time (Oct 3) and has joined top local yard. One to note.

Failed to complete in points but showed a bit first time up over hurdles for yard here in November. Held in stronger race (behind Thelasthighking) at Sandown next time and has since moved yards.

Second in a point and fairly useful form in bumpers before a promising hurdles debut behind exciting prospect at Sandown, fading after pulling hard early. Sure to improve and leading claims.

Forecasts

Risk D'Argent (9/4), Boreen Boy (5/2), Hecouldbetheone (16/5), Thelasthighking (11/2), Fama Et Gloria (16/1), Minella Hub (16/1), Al Muffrih (25/1), Gold Souk (125/1)

Verdict

THELASTHIGHKING made a promising start over hurdles in the Sandown novice won by the very exciting Constitution Hill, weakening after going freely in front, and is surely up to winning races if settling down. He gets the vote over the penalised Risk d'Argent and Boreen Boy.

  1. THELASTHIGHKING (IRE)
  2. RISK D'ARGENT (FR)
  3. BOREEN BOY (IRE)
