£95,000 buy after finishing runner-up on his completed start in Irish points. Never involved in an Ascot bumper on Rules debut but shaped with some encouragement fitted with a tongue strap sent hurdling when third in a Plumpton maiden in April. Open to improvement.

Malinas gelding who attracted support and made a winning debut in good style in 9-runner bumper at Exeter (16.7f) in February. That form could have worked out better, but he still rates a good hurdle prospect. Has had a breathing operation.

Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who wasn't subjected to a hard race when a well-held fifth on his recent Hereford hurdle debut. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in Germany and stepped up significantly on hurdling debut form in first-time hood when second in 15-runner novice at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 18 days ago. Sets the standard and capable of better still.

Fair handicapper on Flat but became increasingly temperamental in that sphere and has shown nothing in a brace of maiden hurdles.

Looked badly in need of the experience when well held in a Hereford bumper on debut last month, refusing to settle.

Modest performer on Flat who showed little both starts over hurdles last season. Will be of more interest in low-grade handicaps after this.

Forecasts

Panjari (11/10), Diesel Line (13/8), Breaking Cover (11/2), Plaisir Des Flos (13/2), Grandmaster Flash (80/1), Opticality (100/1), Mollie De Mai (125/1), West Hill Shadow (250/1), Ruith Le Tu (250/1), Gorcombe Fizz (300/1)

Verdict

PANJARI stepped up appreciably on his hurdling debut form when runner-up at Wincanton 18 days ago and is the obvious choice to go one better with further improvement on the cards. Diesel Line created a good impression when landing a bumper at Exeter on his debut back in April and rates the main threat, ahead of Breaking Cover.
