Well held all 4 starts in bumpers last season and hasn't fared any better in a couple of novice hurdles since returning to action last month.

Left debut form well behind when runner-up in a Kelso bumper in May. Performed to a similar level when third in a 4-runner affair at Perth (16.2f, good) the following month and worth considering now upped in trip for this hurdles bow.

Pulled up both starts between the flags and the outcome was the same on Rules debut in a Navan maiden hurdle for Colin McBratney last November. Hard to recommend on debut for new yard.

9/1
Winless following half-a-dozen runs between the flags and form on the Flat was modest. Stepped up on his low-key hurdles debut effort when third of 8 in a C&D novice (soft) last week, but it's hard to envisage him reversing placings with the runner-up that day, Toscan Genius.

Timeform
Didn't show a great deal in bumpers at Wetherby and Carlisle last winter, and sizeable step forward needed now switched to hurdles following a 9-month absence.
|
Timeform
Little impact in a couple of Irish bumpers last year, but he found just one too good in a maiden point during the spring. Tongue strap enlisted on this hurdles debut for in-form new yard and he's one to note in the betting.

4/1
Decisive winner of a Newcastle handicap on the Flat in September and produced a decent first effort in this sphere when runner-up over C&D 7 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and he's the one to beat.
|
Timeform
Runner-up on the first of his 2 starts in maiden points during the spring. Since joined a respected yard and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour ahead of this hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Half-brother to a winning pointer and won his sole start between the flags in February. Interesting to see which way he goes in the betting starting out under Rules here.
|
Timeform
Failed to threaten in 7 starts between the flags and opposable starting out under Rules here.

Forecasts

Electric Jet (15/8), Let's Go Joe (7/2), Toscan Genius (4/1), Workhardplayhard (9/2), Fly Awhile Johnny (9/1), Breizh River (11/1), Walk My Way (40/1), Hubbel Bubbel (80/1), Flashy Dude (80/1), Ask My Heather (300/1)

Verdict

ELECTRIC JET showed enough in a couple of maiden points to make him of significant interest now hurdling for the Charlie Longsdon yard, and the hint should be taken if the market vibes surrounding this 4-y-o are upbeat. Toscan Genius shouldn't have too much trouble picking up a race in this sphere judged on his C&D effort last week and he is a much-respected main danger. Let's Go Joe and Workhardplayhard are others to consider, along with Breizh River.
