|
Looks limited on early evidence.
|

|
Went backwards from a winning start in bumpers and jumped none too fluently on Catterick hurdling debut 2 weeks ago.
|
Modest form in bumpers but ran to a just a poor level on completed start over hurdles.
|
Point winner who scored in a Sedgefield bumper for Richard Fahey. Shaped well despite racing freely when third on hurdles debut at Warwick in May and should improve. Has left Ed De Giles.
|
Poor form in bumpers and well held both starts over hurdles.
|
Looks one for the longer term on early evidence.
|
Successful sole outing in points but has gone the wrong way in bumpers following an encouraging start. Upped significantly in trip for hurdles debut.

Failed to build on debut Warwick bumper fourth for Graeme McPherson when sixth of 10 in similar event at Market Rasen 54 days ago. Goes over hurdles with more needed. Tongue strap on.
|
Displayed a fair level of form in bumpers but ran to only a similar level when fourth on Uttoxeter hurdles debut 25 days ago.
|
€52,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Took a step forward from hurdles debut when third in a 19.4f novice at this course 31 days ago and may do better still.
|
€50,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding who was hopelessly green in a Ludlow bumper on debut last month. Significantly up in trip.
|
Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, pulled up in maiden hurdle at Fakenham (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 23 days ago, beaten quickly. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
|
Opened account at the sixth attempt in bumpers in 9-runner event at Kilbeggan (19f, good) in September, driven out. Makes hurdles debut on first run for yard after leaving Patrick Joseph Hayes.

Useful in bumpers last season and made an encouraging start over hurdles when second at Newbury (20.5f) 27 days ago, keeping on run-in after bad mistake last. Will improve.

WONDERWALL, a useful performer in bumpers, shaped well sent hurdling when runner-up at Newbury last month and would likely have gone even closer had he not made a hash of the last. He's taken to get the better of City Chief, a promising type in his own right, and Irish-bumper winner Watergrange Jack, who merits respect now going hurdling for a new stable.
