Showed ability on only start in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind when landing a novice at Ffos Las. Matched that form when fifth in handicap company a month ago and now up in trip.
|
Runner-up in a point and bumper but related to hurdle winners and made the perfect start at Exeter 3 weeks ago (16.7f). Lots more to come and very much the one to beat up in trip.
|
Winning pointer who made a reasonable start under Rules when fourth in a novice hurdle at Plumpton 3 last month. Pitched in deep and didn't jump well enough to be a factor at Lingfield.
|
€24,000 3-y-o half-brother to useful chaser Carli King (2½m-29f winner). Made frame sole start in Irish points and runner-up on hurdles bow at Plumpton. Not in quite the same form at Chepstow.
|
Clearly not the easiest to train and last of 4 set a very stiff task on chase debut a fortnight ago. Hard to weigh up.
|
Bred to stay well and shaped that way in a bumper at Plumpton in December.

Forecasts
Serious Charges (2/5), Blade Runner (9/2), Lydford Lad (15/2), One For The Wall (16/1), The Big Red One (33/1), Richidish (80/1)
Assuming he copes with the extra emphasis on stamina this looks a good chance for SERIOUS CHARGES to supplement his Exeter success. Lydford Lad is offered for forecast purposes.
