Little to shout about on the Flat back in 2020 so easy to look elsewhere on his first start over timber after a lengthy absence.
|
Fairly useful at best on Flat and has made a low-key start over hurdles, again well held at Newton Abbot last month. Tongue tie applied.
|
Showed ability in maiden hurdles for Emmet Mullins in Ireland but has failed to land a meaningful blow in 5 starts since switched to handicaps for this yard (very headstrong). Fancied to make more impact dropped into selling company today.
|
Long-standing maiden on Flat and having not been seen since 2018, he's tough to make a case for on hurdling debut.
|
Fair middle-distance handicapper on the Flat who offered encouragement in 4 starts over hurdles in 2020. Returns after 17 months off the track and there's every chance he will have a say in proceedings provided he's ready to roll.
|
Boasts little in the way of solid form, finishing midfield at Southwell back in March. Back over timber here but needs to step up to figure.
|
Yet to even hint at ability, tailed off in maiden hurdle at Southwell last month.
|
Little to shout about over hurdles and on the Flat this year, latest when down the field at Bath 3 weeks ago. Back over hurdles today and he may feature in this company.
|
Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat who has lost his way, last at Wolverhampton 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but probably best watched on hurdles bow.
|
Fair maiden on Flat for Simon & Ed Crisford. No show in juvenile/novice hurdles and offered little upped in trip back on the level at Wolverhampton recently. Blinkers now tried.
|
Down field in minor events on Flat for David O'Meara in 2021 but has joined a top yard ahead of this hurdling debut. Market check advised.
|
Flat winner for John Gosden and bettered hurdling debut when fourth in a juvenile at Stratford in March, albeit running to only a modest level. Not in same form at Hereford 11 days later and first-time cheekpieces are applied. Shortlisted in this grade.
|
Modest handicapper on Flat who wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time, left poorly placed the way the race was run. Market check advised on hurdling debut.
|
Behind in various events on the Flat, including for this yard after 8 months off in February. Offered little on hurdles bow at Plumpton 4 weeks ago so very tough to recommend on that showing.

Forecasts
Top Brass (11/4), Janus (3/1), Full Aux Rois (4/1), Appreciate (15/2), Donya (8/1), Royal Advice (10/1), Canal Rocks (12/1), Thesethingshappen (22/1), Overtougeorge (40/1), Gealach Ghorm (50/1), Sunline (66/1), Shielded (66/1), Sukat (200/1), Absolute Altitude (200/1)
Recent solid form is thin on the ground so a chance is taken on FULL AUX ROIS. He hasn't shown much in 5 handicap starts for Neil Mulholland but, dropped into selling company for the first time today, he gets the tentative vote to open his account. Top Brass, Janus and Appreciate are just a handful of others to consider.
