Modest form across 3 quick runs in maiden/novice company in the spring. Open to further improvement in handicaps, though step back down in distance doesn't rate as an obvious positive.
|
Won 3 times over fences last winter, probably finding the race coming too soon when down the field at Carlisle on final outing last season. Little form yet over hurdles but could be on workable mark given progress he made as a chaser.
|
Gradually got the hang of things over hurdles last term and made a pleasing return after a summer break when third in a Kelso maiden (16.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Respected back in a handicap.
|
Runner-up in a Killarney juvenile maiden in the summer and shaped reasonably well on second start for this yard when runner-up on the Flat at Newcastle last week. Interesting handicap debutant.
|
Much improved when runner-up at Carlisle in March but hasn't come close to matching that form since and looks best avoided.

Forecasts
Hostile Hotelier (5/2), Lacila Blue (11/4), Show No Fear (3/1), Celestial Fashion (6/1), Lisloran (13/2)
SHOW NO FEAR could be thrown in on the pick of his Irish form and seemed to be on the way back at Newcastle last week, so gets the nod over Lacila Blue, who made a sound return in maiden company last month. Lisloran is also interesting from his lower hurdles mark.

- Lacila Blue11/4
- Lisloran13/2
