Won over hurdles in Jersey in July but more miss than hit since (mostly on the Flat), including back in this sphere at Hereford latest. Others appeal more.

Built on debut promise in Ireland when landing 2m novice hurdle at Fakenham 18 months ago. Handily weighted on his comeback run but market can prove a good guide.

Forecasts

Breaking Cover (3/1), Little Pi (10/3), Alphonse Le Grande (11/2), Captain Attridge (15/2), Moonshine Spirit (10/1), Scherbobalob (11/1), Jubilee Gold (12/1), Spirit Of Regulus (14/1), Princess T (20/1), Rock On Tommy (25/1), Churchman (28/1), Seaborough (150/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but BREAKING COVER is fancied to build on his good recent Taunton second now going into handicaps and get off the mark. Fellow handicap debutant Captain Attridge also looks to have better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with the lightly-raced Little Pi and returning Jubilee Gold also in the mix in an open handicap.
