Useful on Flat and came good over hurdles in a Fontwell novice (17.7f, soft) last month. Did that easily and could be up to defying a penalty.
|
Needed experience sole outing in bumpers and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when third 21 lengths third of 8 over C&D 13 days ago. Likely to improve.
|
Made a promising start over hurdles when fourth in 10-runner novice (80/1) at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 31 days ago. Drop in trip not sure to suit, though.

€26,000 3-y-o, £100,000 4-y-o, It's Gino gelding. Dam, lighlty-raced maiden on Flat in France, sister to useful French chaser (17f-23f winner) Savigny. Won sole start in Irish points in March and needs taking seriously for leading course trainer.
|
Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but only modest form shown after a long absence in a pair of novice hurdles at Carlisle and Warwick recently. Needs a big step forward.
|
Shaped like a stayer when placed in a pair of bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter novice 27 days ago. This drop in trip is unlikely to suit.
|
Showed some ability in bumpers but was pulled up on hurdling debut here 13 days ago.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m), won 3 times in 2023 but below form last 2 starts. Has left Jim Goldie ahead of hurdle debut.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Second in a juvenile hurdle at Chepstow on debut in April. Off 7 months. shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 11 at Carlisle last month. Retains potential.
|
Failed to complete both starts in Irish points and a Uttoxeter novice on hurdling debut. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts
Just Gino (9/4), Classic Lord (5/2), Two Auld Pals (5/1), Yealand (8/1), Golden Ambition (8/1), Pearl Island (11/1), Catch Him Derry (18/1), One Eye On Vegas (22/1), Streamsforth Lad (150/1), Orbys River (250/1)
CLASSIC LORD got off the mark over hurdles in tidy fashion at Fontwell last month and is selected to defy a penalty, though strong market support for winning Irish pointer Just Gino would put a slightly different slant on matters. Golden Ambit isn't sure to be suited by the drop in trip but is still third choice.
- Classic Lord5/2
