Showed useful form when winning a brace of bumpers and took his record over hurdles to 2-2 at Ascot (19.2f) in February. Still held every chance when making a bad mistake 3 out upped in trip/grade at Aintree on final outing. Remains open to improvement and interesting chasing debutant. Tongue tied.
|
Highly-promising bumper winner who won his first 3 starts over hurdles, including Grade 1 Challow at Newbury. Folded tamely in Ballymore at Cheltenham Festival and was every bit as disappointing at Aintree 3 weeks later. Could get back on track now sent chasing following a break/breathing operation.
|
Fine advert for trainer's skills when making winning return from 21 months off in Greatwood at Cheltenham last November. Good placed efforts in County Hurdle and Scottish Champion prior to falling 3 out in Swinton. Back up in trip for chasing debut and ought to prove at least as good over fences.
|
Winner of 2 of his 5 starts in juvenile hurdles last season, including at Stratford (18.7f) when last seen in March. Needs to raise his game now tackling fences but that's entirely possible (looks a chasing type) and shouldn't be underestimated.

Forecasts
Stage Star (11/10), West Cork (15/8), Skytastic (4/1), Interne De Sivola (20/1)
WEST CORK is the pick of these on hurdles form and ought to prove at least as good over fences, so he has to be considered the one to beat. Stage Star was a 3-time winner over hurdles last season but ended the campaign with a couple of tame efforts, so Skytastic, a promising sort in his own right, is considered the main threat.
