Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced sister to high-class hurdler (winner around 2m) Grandouet and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Beuvron. Would enter reckoning if betting vibes strong.

Runner-up in sole point and filled same spot (just failed) in Aintree bumper on Rules bow in May. Fair fourth in Warwick novice hurdle in November and subsequent Market Rasen run too bad to be true.

Fair in bumpers for Kim Bailey last season and made a promising start over hurdles for new yard when narrowly denied at Stratford in October. Poor run at Plumpton since. Been off 12 weeks.

Third in a Bellewstown bumper for Shark Hanlon last July but limited impact in a couple of points since ahead of this switch to hurdles for a new yard.

Took another step forward when runner-up over 2m at Taunton last month and appeals as one who'll continue to progress with experience. Up in trip.

Hinted at promise when third in Chepstow bumper and similar story in 2 hurdle runs since. Lassue looks the stable's main hope, though.

Pulled up in both points but has made a sound start under Rules when third in a bumper/novice hurdle this winter. More will be needed if he's to go close, though.

Off mark in points at the second attempt in May. Very green when fourth in bumper in November and plenty of promise when runner-up in 18.5f Exeter novice hurdle since. More to come and leading claims.

Forecasts

Lassue (9/4), Foxinthebox (16/5), Mister Splash (7/2), Tikitov (11/2), Moot Court (9/1), Harde Fashion (10/1), Firth Of Gold (18/1), Howdy Partner (100/1)

Verdict

LASSUE should have more to offer now moving up in trip and can get off the mark at the second time of asking over hurdles. Mister Splash and Foxinthebox likely have bigger performances in them and should play a part, while Kim Bailey newcomer Firth of Gold would also need considering should the betting vibes be strong.
