Bet In-Running On Racing At BetVictor Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Has looked a useful prospect when winning both starts in novice hurdles in recent weeks, digging deep to shade a tight finish at Doncaster (2m) latterly. More to come and good chance of the hat-trick.

Showed ability on the first of 2 starts in bumpers this winter but would still be a bit of a surprise winner on hurdle debut.

Has shaped with promise when in the frame in 2m novice hurdles at Newcastle this winter. Improvement should be forthcoming. The obvious threat to Ballygeary.

Big prices and minor promise in 3 novice hurdle runs spread out over best part of a year. Tongue tie now on having had a wind op. Potential for better at some point but would have made more appeal in a handicap.

£55,000 purchase after reaching the frame both starts in Irish points. 5/1, showed a bit when 11 lengths fourth of 6 on 23m Ayr hurdle debut in October. Off since. Open to progress.

Modest form in a quartet of bumpers and comfortably held in 2 novice hurdles since. Others preferred.

Easy to put a line through hurdle debut run (saddle slipped early) but he was an unfancied 50/1 shot that day having shown only modest form at best in bumpers prior to that.
