Free Bet Nose Losers At BetGoodwin Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when fifth in 13-runner novice at Ffos Las (20f, soft) 54 days ago and will have more chance now handicapping.

Revived when belying odds of 40/1 in 2m Lingfield handicap in December but has rather lost his way since. 7 lb claimer now takes over in the saddle.

Posted his best effort in this sphere when close third on his handicap debut here in February and shaped as if still in good form at Plumpton since. Likely to be on the premises again back down in trip.

Showed just modest form over hurdles at best in Ireland but is a recent Irish point winner, so worth a precautionary check in the betting now setting out for a new stable.

Fair form when in the frame in all 3 bumpers last season and left his previous efforts over hurdles behind upped in trip for handicap debut when third at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) last month. Expected to be bang there with further improvement a possibility.

Fair in bumpers and ran his best race over hurdles when runner-up at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in January. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that effort at Warwick a fortnight on, though. Change of headgear (first-time visor).

Bumper winner who made no impact in a trio of novice hurdles earlier this year but offered more since switched to handicaps when making the frame at Ffos Las and Uttoxeter in November. Folded tamely at Lingfield a month later but has been freshened up since.
