JAL Roofing Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Runner-up in an Irish point before landing a brace of bumpers this summer. Failed to meet expectations on his Perth hurdles debut but made no mistake up markedly in trip at Worcester (23f) next time. Open to further progress but isn't sure to be ideally suited by the return to 2m.

Strong in the betting and made a winning debut with a bit to spare in a Warwick bumper in May. Too free under a penalty at Stratford 8 weeks later but ceated a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester (2m) 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

Modest handicapper on Flat who reportedly had a breathing problem when well held on last month's C&D hurdling debut.

Fair winner on Flat but well held on most recent outing in that sphere and he offered little both starts over hurdles back in 2020/21.

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), won at Catterick in July. Regular rider retained and showed some aptitude for hurdling starting out at Market Rasen but was held in a remote fourth when brought down 2 out at Southwell since.

Fair start over hurdles when placed in maidens at Huntingdon and Fakenham earlier this year but his final run for Dan Skelton in July resulted in poor handicap debut display over C&D. Opposable starting out for new yard in a first-time hood.

No impact in bumper/completed starts over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time.

Hit the frame all 3 starts in bumpers but achieved very little with a hood fitted on his C&D hurdling debut.

Modest handicapper on Flat who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third of 7 in a C&D novice in August. More required.

Third sole outing in points and showed fairly useful form both bumper outings for Declan Queally in April. Subsequently sold for €110,00 and makes obvious appeal now going hurdling for a top stable.

Down the field in bumpers and on Stratford hurdling debut in July. Most likely one for handicaps further down the line.
