Hold Your Event At Wincanton Racecourse Handicap Hurdle

Had been shaping up well prior to opening his account in ready fashion in a chase here in February. Not in the same form when well-held third back here 12 days ago. Now reverts to hurdles.

3-3 in Britain for Brian Barr last summer but offered little on recent comeback run for new trainer at Huntingdon. Can only be watched this time.

Reached the frame all 4 hurdles starts last season and, though below par initially this time round, he took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 in a Southwell handicap (3m, soft) in January. Possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more.

Showed improved form to gain a second hurdle success at Fontwell (19f, heavy) last month. Good second of 12 at Hereford since and a further 2 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Yet to taste success but ran respectably in first-time tongue strap (had wind operation prior) when fourth of 14 in handicap at Taunton (3m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Looks fairly handicapped if he can builds on that.

11/8, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (15f, heavy) 32 days ago, always holding on. Runner-up over this longer trip before. Should remain competitive after a 6 lb rise.

Unreliable in the main but this veteran ran with credit when reaching the frame twice here in February. Latest Fontwell fourth no more than respectable, though.
