Kayf Tara gelding. Shaped like a stayer when fourth on debut in a Warwick bumper (2m) in May but received early reminders and was always behind on return/hurdles debut at Lingfield (19.5f) in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

1/5

Fair form when fourth at Hereford only start in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and shaped well sent hurdling after 10 months off when second of 16 at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Sure to improve and will take all the beating.

Form: 4-2

£60,000 Presenting gelding. Third sole start in Irish points but tongue tied and failed to meet expectations in a Huntingdon bumper on Boxing Day. Upped significantly in trip for hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Game Winner (1/5), Piper Tom (17/2), All A Struggle (10/1), Endersen (18/1)

A gilt-edged opportunity for GAME WINNER, who shaped well when runner-up to a good prospect on his Exeter hurdling/stable debut on New Year's Day. More was clearly expected of Piper Tom on his bumper debut at Huntingdon, so it's possible he could fare better now sent hurdling over a longer trip.
