Ex-Irish winning hurdler, but far from a natural chaser, failing to make much of an impact in 5 starts for present yard. Down in the weights back over timber and stable in excellent order.
|
Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when third in big-field handicap at Catterick in December. Unable to fully build on that since but he is dropping in the weights.
|
Flat winner who showed fair form at best over hurdles in France. First encouraging signs when fifth over C&D last week and task is to now build on that.
|
Reacted well to blinkers when winning 16-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Never a factor in a deeper race at Uttoxeter 3 weeks later and off since, though that race did work out.
|
Still to get his head in front but got back on track when third at Market Rasen in November. Finished runner-up on his completed start in points after but just a fair effort at Newcastle.
|
Remains winless and arrives out form, for all he has been held up in steadily-run races of late.
|
Five-time winner on the Flat, but just 1-27 in this sphere and he has offered precious little in 3 starts since returning to action in December.

Forecasts
En Couleur (3/1), Chesterville (3/1), Kings Creek (4/1), Irish Sovereign (9/2), Burnage Boy (17/2), Ballyfarsoon (17/2), Balkotic (18/1)
None of these look particularly solid but CHESTERVILLE won the last time he tackled hurdles and following a low-key spell chasing, he has dropped to a workable mark. Kings Creek and Irish Sovereign could be the main threats.
- Chesterville3/1
- Kings Creek4/1
