Runner-up 5 times on the spin over hurdles and did too much too soon after 10 months off at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. Cheekpieces shelved back in maiden company.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2½m) who won at Nottingham (14f) in September prior to a rare below-par display in Cesarewitch at Newmarket final start in 2023. Shaped as though in need of the run on last month's hurdles/stable debut and this will reveal more.
|
Well held in bumpers and little solid form over obstacles.
|
Ran to a fairly useful level in bumpers and bright start over hurdles, badly hampered and unlucky not to win when third at Hereford last month. Very much the one to beat.
|
Posted good second (with hood on) in a course bumper on NH debut in September. Unable to build on that since and looks a low-grade handicap project.
|
First foal, dam (c72/h91) 21f/2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 25f).
No impact first 2 starts 10 months apart.

Forecasts
Yalla Habibi (4/6), Light Em Up Nigel (11/4), Dance In The Park (7/1), Motazzen (10/1), Tellinatale (33/1), Phil The Sock (50/1), Westmill (100/1)
YALLA HABIBI is going the right way over hurdles and this looks a cracking chance to gain compensation for an unlucky defeat at Hereford. Light Em Up Nigel is the obvious threat.
