Promising bumper performer showed ability when chasing home the useful Tahmuras at Chepstow on hurdling debut last month but failed to build on that when down the field at Ascot 16 days later. Remains one to be positive about.
|
Won bumper at Sedgefield on return but making successful transition to hurdling in 10-runner novice at Wincanton 25 days ago, scoring with more in hand the narrow margin suggests. Much respected under penalty.
|
Struggled in bumpers but showed clear ability when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 47 days ago. Improvement required again here, for all he could build on his return.
|
Green but made an encouraging start when third of 9 in bumper at Kempton (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 months ago. Perhaps more of a longer-term prospect than others here.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m). Completed all-weather hat-trick in spring and shaped as if better for run after summer break last time. Worth market check on hurdles bow.
|
Looked above average when landing a bumper at Stratford on debut but seemingly had little in the way excuses when mid-field in listed Cheltenham event on next start. Nevertheless, remains a bright prospect on hurdles bow.
|
Unfancied in the betting but offered something to work on when seventh in a listed event at Ascot on debut. Failed to progress on his next start, so will need to get back on track on hurdles debut.
|
Dam half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Out Voted. Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m), won at Nottingham in October, below form last time. Interesting hurdling recruit.
|
Dual 2m4f chase winner who shaped encouragingly when fifth in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f) on return in October. Likely to have finished a creditable third had he completed at Wetherby since so fancied to figure back over the smaller obstacles. Engaged Southwell 2.58 Sunday.
|
Winning start under Rules in a Fontwell bumper last month and showed plenty when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Likely to improve.
|
Maiden pointer looked one for the longer term when well held in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Can't be fancied.
|
Hasn't looked a natural in the pair of hurdles starts to date and is best passed over.
|
Looked badly in need of experience when last of 4 in juvenile hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Hard to recommend.

Forecasts
Soldier Of Destiny (15/8), Bubble Dubi (10/3), Kayf Legend (7/2), Ebonello (13/2), Prince Imperial (8/1), Goodwin Racing (20/1), He's A Latchico (25/1), Forget The Way (33/1), Tapley (33/1), Onesteptwosteps (33/1), All About Me (50/1), Via Dante (66/1), Ghyll Manor (100/1)
Jamie Snowden's useful chaser SOLDIER OF DESTINY is also engaged at Southwell on Sunday, but granted he lines up here, he should take all the beating returned to the smaller obstacles on favourable terms. Bubble Dubi is granted a chance to get back on track after a promising hurdles bow, whilst Ebonello is also respected in her bid to land a hat-trick.
