Rejuvenated over hurdles/fences during 2020/21, signing off campaign with success in Highland National at Perth. Confined to just one start last term (re-united with present yard) at Newton Abbot 12 months ago and he may come on for this.
|
Unpredictable as a rule but put it all together to add to his tally at Bangor (23f) in August. Disappointed back at that venue next time but back to form when close-up third of 4 at Hereford (25.5f) last month. This sort of mark certainly not beyond him.
|
Fairly useful winner over fences for Noel Williams during summer of 2021. However, well held final outing for that yard and fared little better in 2 starts for new yard around the turn of the year. Market may prove useful on return from 10 months off. Tongue tie added.
|
Much-improved when registering back-to-back handicap hurdle victories during summer of 2021. Easy to back and shaped as if better for the run on return at Listowel (20f) in September but interesting cheekpieces/tongue tie worn for both victories are re-instated here.
|
Twice a winner at Cartmel last summer who struggled to make an impact earlier this year but best not judged on recent exploits from sliding mark, left poorly placed when fifth at Perth (3m) in September. One to consider.
|
Made the frame twice on the back of tasting success at Carlisle (20f) 12 months ago and, in line with yard's good form justified support to double career tally at Kelso (20.8f) 31 days ago. Not discounted but this may prove tougher.

Forecasts
Rickety Gate (4/6), Mullaghmore Wave (11/2), Native Fighter (13/2), Blakeney Point (13/2), That's A Given (18/1), Cyclop (40/1)
Quite a tricky opener and with that in mind a chance is taken on NATIVE FIGHTER. Twice a winner from higher marks last summer, he's not shaped all that badly in recent outings, left poorly placed when fifth over this sort of trip at Perth 6 weeks ago. He'sased plenty in the weights and it would come as no surprise to see him thereabouts, with Kelso-scorer Rickety Gate and Irish-raider Mullaghmore Wave next best.
