Offered a bit to work on when a well-held fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Should do better somewhere down the line.
|
Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points and offered something to work on when fourth in 10-runner Hexham bumper on Rules debut in June, needing stiffer test.
|
Shaped better than he had in a bumper when fifth of 11 in a C&D novice hurdle (good to soft) in February. Entitled to progress again but may be brought along with handicaps in mind.
|
Placed both starts in bumpers (latest in May) and shaped well when third of 22 in a Punchestown maiden hurdle (19.4f last November. Open to improvement and has leading claims on first run since rejoining former yard.
|
Looks one for low-grade handicaps after this run.
|
Dead-heated on the second of his 2 starts in Irish maiden points last year and showed fair form when in the frame both starts in bumpers. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Neville.
|
22/1, seventh of 8 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 21 days ago, dropping away quickly home turn. Easily passed over.
|
Showed some minor promise in bumpers but won't be at her best until tackling longer trips.
|
Confirmed debut promise when a taking winner of 10-runner bumper at Southwell in April. Bred for the NH game so warrants plenty of respect.
|
Shaped with some encouragement in a brace of bumpers and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling at Hexham (16.2f) in April. Has a good pedigree and should do better in time. Has had a breathing op.

Forecasts
Joshua Des Flos (4/5), Little Miss Dante (11/8), Hombre De Guerra (12/1), Prontoanita (22/1), Marty Mcfly (22/1), Dream Boy (40/1), Bishop Hill (50/1), Am Still Here (50/1), The Roc Hopper (150/1), Lifetime Adventure (200/1)
JOSHUA DES FLOS shaped well when third in a big-field maiden hurdle at Punchestown a year ago and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Little Miss Dante ran out an easy winner on her second bumper outing and is the obvious threat.
