Low-mileage 8-y-o who improved on his fair hurdles form as he made a successful debut over fences on first run since leaving Alex Hales in 4-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago, doing it easily. Claims from 10 lb higher mark with improvement likely.
|
Fair hurdles winner who posted best effort over fences when runner-up at Leopardstown (17f) in spring of last year. Disappointed on final start for Henry de Bromhead and market best guide on belated return for new yard/following wind op. Hood on 1st time.
|
Caused a major upset when making all on British/hurdles debut at Newbury 12 months ago but not built on that subsequently, probably doing too much too soon when well beaten sixth over hurdles at Sandown last month. Goes chasing now with yard in good form.
|
Dual 2m hurdles winner last season who shaped better than on his reappearance when fifth at Ludlow (21f) in November. Underwhelming display at Kempton followed however and switch to chasing needs to have positive effect now.

Forecasts
Gardener (4/5), Toothless (7/2), Jupiter Du Gite (5/1), Kalkas (6/1)
GARDENER improved plenty on his hurdles form when making a winning yard/chase debut over C&D 2 weeks ago and, with improvement anticipated, he holds sound claims of following up. The trio in opposition have question marks against them, with Jupiter du Gite possibly the chief threat now his sights are set on chasing for his in-form yard.
