Bumper winner who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests upped in trip when sixth of 13 on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, heavy) 44 days ago. Still unexposed and worth another chance.

Useful form when landing a Newton Abbot bumper on debut in October but he's been disappointing all 3 starts over hurdles, producing a shoddy round of jumping here latest. Makes handicap debut.

Failed to back up his dubious hurdling debut effort when a well-held fourth in a 7-runner maiden at Hereford in November. Switches to handicaps now after a break and needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Muy Bien (7/2), Iberio (9/2), Karakoram (9/2), Sidewaysinmilan (11/2), Kendelu (15/2), Clondaw Dancer (9/1), Kalzari (12/1), Mystic Court (18/1), Percy Prosecco (22/1), Urabamba (33/1), Brandy Cove (40/1), Thebellsofshandon (50/1), Baily Gorse (80/1), Zulu (80/1), Sastruga (80/1), Ho Que Oui (100/1), Portentoso (125/1)

Verdict

MUY BIEN caught the eye from an unpromising position in a course maiden last month, and is very much bred to be suited by this step up in trip now handicapping, so he's an appealing candidate with improvement on the cards. Sidewaysinmilan shaped better than distance beaten suggests on his first try in a handicap at Huntingdon and remains unexposed, with Kalzari another to consider.
