Cornish Rock Gin Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Won on the Flat in France for Jean-Claude Rouget and runner-up on the second of 2 hurdle starts there last spring. Much better for yard debut/return when winning 3-runner juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 43 days ago and the one to beat under a penalty.

Fair form in pair of maidens on Flat, mid-division last time. Sold from Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16,000 gns in July and gelded.

Modest maiden on the Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe and 150/1 when down the field on his Exeter hurdle debut 34 days ago.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Andrew Balding. Sold for £7,000 and went with no encouragement switched to hurdles for new yard at Exeter last month.

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle for David Pipe.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 11f, ran respectably last time. Sold from Ed Dunlop 55,000 gns in October and one to note switched to hurdles.

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Dropped away before the last to finish sixth on his Cork hurdle debut (final start for Joseph O'Brien) and failed to meet expectations on yard debut when well held at Ludlow last month, giving his rider a fairly hard time. Cheekpieces on.

Fair form on Flat, stays 1½m, runner-up in novice last time. Sold from William Knight 85,000 gns later in August. Needs considering now hurdling for top yard.

Fair handicapper at best on Flat, barely stays 1½m, well below form last 2 starts. Sold from David Menuisier 1,000 gns in October.

Poor maiden on the Flat and ran to only a similar level when second of 4 on hurdle debut at Fontwell last month. Dropped away quickly there since.

Fair 5-time Flat winner but showed little aptitude for hurdling at Cheltenham 2 weeks ago, albeit in a much better race than this.
