Failed to win in 4 bumpers but he did achieve a decent level of form and he proved up to making a successful start over hurdles in novice company at Taunton in November, edging out a Nicholls odds-on shot. Disappointing when well beaten at Kempton last time but could bounce back after a small break.

Fair dual winner over fences last season but he'd shown just modest form over hurdles prior to that, so improvement needed if he's to trouble the principals.

Is a half-brother to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Pull Again Green but has shown just minor promise in a brace of bumpers.

Timeform
Walk In The Park gelding who shaped like a stayer on his sole outing in bumpers at this venue. Upped in trip and offered little on Chepstow hurdling debut, though.

€6,000 3-y-o, £30,000 4-y-o, Great Pretender gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler in France Baleze Allen. Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 4). Market best guide to expectations.

Timeform
Well held in a brace of novice hurdles.

Timeform
Related to plenty of winners but has shown little in a maiden/novice hurdle.
|
Timeform
Fourth in a Chepstow bumper on Rules debut and stepped up on that when just touched off in a Wincanton maiden hurdle (15.2f) in November. In the process of confirming that promise (likely to have won) when unseating her rider soon after 2 out back there on Boxing Day. Can make amends here.

Forecasts

Passionate Pursuit (8/13), Mamoon Star (7/2), Blueberry Wine (8/1), Invictus Allen (10/1), Commanding View (12/1), Dunstall Rambler (33/1), One Man Party (100/1), Mix Master (100/1)

Verdict

PASSIONATE PURSUIT was in the process of confirming her hurdling debut promise when coming down at Wincanton on Boxing Day and this looks a good opportunity to make amends. Mamoon Star had looked quite promising at Taunton prior to disappointing at Kempton, so can give the selection plenty to think about if bouncing back.
