Fairly useful maiden in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and sound start over hurdles for new yard when runner-up over C&D. Confirmed that promise when going one better at Catterick (19.3f) and is capable of better again.
|
Fair form first of 2 starts in bumpers and shaped better than distance beaten suggests on his hurdling debut at Thurles 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins for £28,000. Open to improvement.
|
Had been sold cheaply out of Eve Johnson Houghton's after a couple of disappointing efforts on the Flat and ran to just a poor level sent hurdling at Newcastle 19 days ago.
|
€36,000 3-y-o, £31,000 5-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Write It Down. Dam (c115) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 25f). Made frame all completed starts in Irish points, third last time (Apr 13). In good hands and worth a market check.
|
Well beaten in bumpers so easily passed over on hurdling debut.
|
Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle.
|
Didn't show much in trio of bumper starts for Stuart Crawford earlier this year. Changed hands for just £3,000 in September and was pulled up on Catterick hurdling debut 29 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
|
Experienced pointer (won at fifth attempt in February) but safely held both starts over hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps after another run. Had had a breathing op since latest run.
|
Looks limited on early evidence.
|
Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton and has fared no better in a pair of course novice hurdles for this yard.
|
Signs of ability in a couple of hurdling runs to date but will probably be of more interest once qualified for a mark.
|
Point winner who went backwards from an encouraging hurdling debut when a well-held fifth at Ffos Las last month. Still early days but has something to prove on the back of that.
|
Bred to do better at some point, but hasn't shown enough in bumpers to warrant interest on hurdling debut.
|
Successful sole outing in Irish points and has shown some ability in a bumper/maiden hurdle but is possibly more one for handicaps a bit further down the line.
|
Winning pointer at second attempt but well held in a brace of novice hurdles.
|
Well held on sole out in bumpers and has shown nothing both starts over hurdles.
|
Fairly useful at best on Flat but looks one for handicaps later on in this sphere.

ROYAL MOGUL has made a good start to his hurdling career and is selected to defy a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Rules-newcomer Benassi requires a market check, while Allibaba is open to improvement for his new yard.
