Blantyre Canter - Sponsored By Cleartech Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

£35,000 4-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Shar Whats Therush, stays 23f. Runner-up completed start in points but that was back in 2021.

Related to four winners and showed a bit to work on both starts 8 months apart, fourth in a bumper then third of 13 in a novice at Taunton in December. Since left Harry Fry.

Poor on the Flat and went with no encouragement sent hurdling at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) in December. Cheekpieces off.

From a good family and filled the frame both starts in Irish bumpers last spring. In top hands and he's a fascinating contender now hurdling with a tongue strap added.

Made the fame all 3 starts in bumpers (modest form) and showed up quite well on hurdling debut at Newcastle in December. Well backed but too free back at that venue 2 months later. Hood may help.

Showed a bit when fourth in a course bumper at the turn of the year and stuck to his task pretty well when occupying same spot on hurdles debut at Ayr. Should improve.

Half-brother to 5 winners and was successful on his sole outing in Irish points. After 9 months off, left his bumper debut form behind with an easy success at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) in January. Runner-up on hurdles bow a month later and he has plenty to recommend him.

Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h107), placed in French hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Sizing John. From a good family but went with little promise in a bumper last month.
