Low-mileage 7-y-o who displayed fairly useful form over hurdles last term and improved to make a winning return/handicap chase debut at Chepstow (19.5f) in October, seeing off a resilient rival (pair clear). Underfoot conditions fine and respected with more to come.
|
Fair hurdler who was in the process of showing much improved form on chase bow when departing at Warwick on return last month, the race very much at his mercy when slipping on landing and coming down last. 10 lb higher now but of strong interest. Engaged 12.15 Southwell Tuesday.
|
Cheekpieces seemingly the making of him to end 2022, winning 2 of his 4 starts in handicap hurdles. Encouraging third on return/chase debut at Wetherby (19.4f) 32 days ago and likely he will have more to offer in this sphere.
|
Runner-up only start in bumpers and positive profile over hurdles last season, registering success at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Definite promise when second behind a potentially very smart prospect on last month's chase debut at Carlisle and he won't be long in winning in this sphere.
|
Bumper winner who displayed fairly useful form when winning first 2 starts over hurdles in France during 2021. Similar form without tasting success over fences and possibly needed run on final start over timber in September. Market should guide on debut for new yard.

Forecasts
Hurlerontheditch (7/4), The King Of Ryhope (15/8), Happy And Fine (4/1), Blue Fin (7/1), Intense Raffles (14/1)
HURLERONTHEDITCH had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last on his return/chase debut at Warwick 4 weeks ago. An effort containing abundant promise on the whole, that hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor, but he still makes plenty of appeal in his bid to gain compensation. Fellow last-time-out winner The King of Ryhope is a big threat however, ahead of Blue Fin.
