Get Pulling With PJ Nicholls SsangYong Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Winner of 2m Warwick handicap in May and creditable runner-up efforts at Uttoxeter and here (both 2m) on his next 2 starts. Confirmed stamina for 20f when third last time and another bold showing looks likely.

Failed to win for Oliver Sherwood but wasted little time getting on the up for Fergal O'Brien, supplementing her Uttoxeter win at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Limit not yet reached and she's the one to beat.

Useful 7-time Flat winner for David Brown. Yet to reach same heights over hurdles and has been expensive to follow in the process. Tongue tie on for the first time.

Acquitted himself well over hurdles this summer, latest when third of 8 in handicap over 2m here 3 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb and he can be a factor.

Fairly useful on the Flat in France and showed that he retains ability when runner-up on the level at Kempton (2m) in June. Fairly low-key start over hurdles but opening handicap effort at Southwell wasn't a bad effort. Back up in trip.

Much more like it when keeping on for fifth in maiden company at Warwick in April. Slight step up in trip will suit now handicapping.

Well held in bumpers/completed starts over hurdles. More needed from this mark fitted with blinkers.
