Out of an unraced sister to yard's Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Bobs Worth. Fourth in an Irish point and made a sound start to his hurdle career when third over 20.5f at Plumpton last month, staying on after mistake 4 out. Down in trip. Can be expected to improve.
|
Fairly useful maiden on Flat and runner-up both starts over hurdles. Open to further improvement if learning to settle.

Forecasts
Fiercely Proud (11/10), Beny Nahar Road (7/2), Geezer Rockstar (4/1), Tregele (7/1), Avada Kedavra (7/1), Chauffeur Driven (33/1), Ryan's Rocket (50/1), Not Now Kanne (100/1), My Friend Sean (100/1), Nomoreblackjack (150/1), Talap (150/1), Thurley (150/1), Huckleberry Sting (200/1), Getuptheyard (250/1)
Dual-bumper winner FIERCELY PROUD made a promising start to his hurdles career when winning at Hereford on return and can defy a penalty. Geezer Rockstar made a winning debut in a bumper here in April so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Avada Kedavra and Beny Nahar Road.
