Runner-up on completed start in Irish points (Nov 2021). Cost a fair bit and showed plenty to work on in Chepstow bumper but not much encouragement to glean from over hurdles. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.

Dual AW Flat winner for this yard earlier in the year. Lightly raced over hurdles and posted a good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 62 days ago. Needs considering now starting out over fences.

Some fair runs without winning over hurdles but little impact in 2 chases this autumn. A watching brief is advised.

Modest maiden hurdler. Fell first on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot in May so others are preferred.

Runner-up over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) in March. Disappointing at Fontwell a month later but not one to write off now chasing on balance (dam was a dual winning pointer).

Forecasts

Divine Inspiration (3/1), Haston Clermont (10/3), Proper Twelve (6/1), Hilltown (6/1), West Orchard (8/1), Sadler's Bay (9/1), Theonlywayiswessex (12/1), Yesnosorry (16/1), Mrs Kinsella (22/1), Shirocco's Delight (40/1), Endersen (40/1)

Verdict

Point-winner DIVINE INSPIRATION shaped well quickly switched to fences when third at Wetherby in the spring and looks the way to go on his seasonal return with a fair bit of improvement on the cards. Proper Twelve also made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Fontwell and is next on the list ahead of fencing-newcomers Sadler's Bay and Theonlywayiswessex.
