Fairly useful bumper winner (for Willie Mullins) who bled when last of 10 in 2m Newcastle maiden on his hurdling/stable debut in November. Has had a breathing op since and shouldn't be written off.
|
Showed some minor promise in bumpers and did much the same tried hurdling when sixth at Chepstow 33 days ago. Ought to do better somewhere down the line.
|
Irish point winner at second attempt who built on earlier promise over hurdles when second at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 19 days ago, finishing with running left. Capable of better still.
|
Plenty of promise in Hexham bumper and brace of novice hurdles, not knocked about when third at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) latest. Remains capable of better.
|
Half-brother to smart hurdler Roksana. Promise in sole bumper and both starts over hurdles, unsuited by emphasis on speed at Uttoxeter (19.9f) latest. Remains capable of better.
|
Flemensfirth mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler Black Mischief. Showed ability when fourth in a Southwell bumper on debut in April and will be suited by this longer trip now hurdling.

Forecasts
Hometown Hero (11/10), Tigerbythetail (6/4), Luke (15/2), Cool Jet (10/1), Miss Wachit (28/1), Hesbehindyou (100/1)
TIGERBYTHETAIL, Hometown Hero and Luke all seem likely to be winning races before long, but the narrow vote goes to the first-named runner, who hasn't been beaten far by some useful types on both his starts over hurdles and remains the type to do better back from a break.
