Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Black Op. Showed promise in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form behind when fifth of 14 in a maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 62 days ago. May do better still and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Forecasts

El Granjero (4/9), Stay If U Want To (10/3), Wee Tony (5/1), My Monty (18/1), The Sad Shepherd (40/1), El Vigaro (80/1), Just Chasing May (80/1), Ronnies Reflection (100/1), Danny's Friend (200/1), Our Flying Angel (200/1), Madra Morjohn (300/1), Countess Vicky (300/1)

EL GRANJERO has been knocking on the door and is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of Stay If U Want To who rates a big danger if, as expected, building on his promising Catterick debut second. Wee Tony holds solid place prospects and rates much the pick of the remainder.
