Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and definite promise to glean from his hurdles debut second in a big field novice here (16.7f) last month. Very much the type to improve.
|
Maiden pointer who has finished well held in a pair of maiden hurdles to date. May do better in low-grade handicaps in due course.
|
Won the second of his 3 starts in bumpers. However, has been shaping up like a longer-term hurdles project judged on a couple of spins in maiden/novice events in recent months.
|
Yeats gelding who shaped encouragingly when third in a big-field novice here (16.7f) on hurdles debut last month, almost snatching second from American Gerry. Big player with progress expected.
|
Maiden who again found only one too good over this sort of trip at Newton Abbot when last seen in April, not looking well served by emphasis on speed. not discounted for all 2½m may suit ideally.
|
Little impact in a trio of points and similar story in pair of hurdle spins to date.
|
Stepped up on debut effort when fourth of 9 in 16.6f Market Rasen bumper 13 months ago. Worth noting where he figures in the betting now tackling timber for the first time. Tongue tied.
|
Failed to meet expectations in a Ludlow bumper 12 months ago and below that level at Newton Abbot in July. Starts out over hurdles for third yard now and likely best watched.

DUBROVNIK HARRY shaped with definite promise when third in a big-field novice over shorter here last month, doing best of those that raced midfield or further back. Beaten a nose by American Gerry then, he may be up to reversing those placings here. The latter is promising in his own right however and respected. Forever des Long can also get involved.
