Well held only start in bumpers yet, following wind op, caused a major shock when scoring on hurdles debut at Lingfield (19.5f) 25 days ago, staying on to lead final strides. Respected with progress anticipated.

El Salvador gelding. Dam unraced sister to fair hunter chaser (25f winner) Hix Fix. Probably best watched on debut.

Timeform
Showed ability in finishing midfield both starts in bumpers, latterly when fifth of 13 at Newbury (16.3f) 30 days ago. However, not one of the more obvious ones on pedigree/physique now tackling timber.

Timeform
More one for handicaps judged on his efforts at Chepstow and Kempton this autumn.

Looked his yard's second string but still showed more than previously when good second behind stablemate in a C&D maiden (19.5f) 15 days ago, staying on dourly. Can do better again for leading stable.
|
Timeform
Successful at the third attempt in Irish points. Hurdles debut run in October not without hope but failed by a long chalk to build on that at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago.

Down the field in a Newbury bumper back in March. Passed over on return now hurdling.

Looked a stayer in the making in a couple of bumpers last winter and no immediate promise in this sphere when tenth of 16 in a C&D maiden 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Fair form in bumpers last season and promise amidst inexperience when second on return/hurdles debut in an Exeter novice (16.7f) 19 days ago, pulling long way clear of rest. Longer trip promises to suit and claims with progress likely.

£95,000 4-y-o, Buck's Boum gelding. Successful sole start in Irish points (Mar 4). Showed ability when second of 6 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f) in October. Longer trip should suit him now hurdling and worth noting if the market spoke in his favour.

Passing Glance half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Midnight Midge. Well beaten only start in bumpers and struggling when unseating 3 out on hurdles bow at Warwick in April. Best watched starting out for new yard.

Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Yalltari. Placed in 2 of her 3 bumpers and offered something to work on when fifth of 10 on her C&D hurdles debut in March. Should be more to come from her but handicaps in due course likely to be more her bag.

Verdict

RANGE produced a promising debut effort over hurdles amidst inexperience when second at Exeter 3 weeks ago and, with improvement anticipated now stepping up in trip, he earns the vote to go one place better. Hurricane Danny and Theyseekhimthere head up the dangers.
