Falcons Events Proudly Support Hexham Racecourse Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt and bought for 40,000 gns. Underwent a breathing op and tongue tied, he made a winning hurdles debut over 20.4f at Ayr in November. Similar form when second under a penalty there following month and of interest on chase bow/return.

Opened his account over fences at the fourth attempt in a match at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) before defying penalty in another thin event at Hexham. Should go well again.

Dual hurdles winner who took to fences well, placed all 3 starts. Potentially on a good mark and market should reveal expectations after 14 months off and first run for this yard after leaving Sandy Thomson.

Dual bumper/maiden hurdle winner who was runner-up for the fourth time over fences over C&D in May. Well backed but below par after 5 months off at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Headgear/tongue tie reapplied.

Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles here last year. No impact in 4 runs over fences this term, however, and so easy to oppose from a long way out of the handicap.
