Below form sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Thurles (16.3f, soft, 9/2) 38 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Miss Elizabeth Doyle. Potentially well treated on some of his Irish form and new yard immediately reverts to hurdling.
|
Hit the frame on three of his last four starts and handicapper has dropped him a further 2 lb since his last effort, so he's worthy of interest after a 87-day break.
|
Placed on both of his completed starts in Irish points and left previous hurdling efforts behind when fifth in a handicap at Ayr 13 days ago, best of those ridden prominently. Could step up again.
|
Well held in bumpers and just modest form over hurdles, respectable sixth in a handicap at Ayr a fortnight ago. Not completely dismissed.
|
Well held in bumpers and little impact in 3 starts over hurdles, always behind when fifth in 2m maiden at Catterick 39 days ago. Could do better now handicapping with cheekpieces and stamina drawn out much more.
|
Has cut little ice in points and over hurdles to date. Looks set for another struggle.
|
Failed to threaten between the flags but, after a quiet start over hurdles, shaped with much more promise when sixth in a handicap at Wetherby last time, finishing with running left. More to come and worth chancing in a weak race.

Forecasts
Kingston Rock (9/4), Lahardaun (10/3), Huit Reflets (9/2), Walk My Way (5/1), Bowler Jack (9/1), Captain Copper (11/1), Brian's Jet (12/1)
WALK MY WAY took a small step forward while leaving the impression there's more to come when a staying-on sixth at Wetherby last time, so he could be the answer to a tricky low-grade event. Brian's Jet has been given a chance by the handicapper, so he's of interest after a break, and Huit Reflets is worth close monitoring in the market on debut for a new yard.
- Walk My Way5/1
- Brian's Jet12/1
- Huit Reflets9/2
