£40,000 purchase after an Irish point win. Followed up on 2m Ludlow hurdle debut for new yard in November and made the frame all 3 starts since, latterly when staying on for third at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Longer trip worth exploring now.
|
3-time winner over hurdles (at up to 25f) who was perked up by fitting of blinkers when second over fences at Fontwell (27.7f) in January. Disappointed next time and reportedly bled at Fakenham 3 weeks ago (final start for Gary Moore). Cheekpieces replace blinkers back over timber.
|
Well-bred sort who did the job in good style back from a break/wind op when slamming dual subsequent winner Activist and 3 others in a Lingfield handicap (2m, soft) in February. Ran right up to best when second here (15.8f) latest and respected back up in trip.
|
Hadn't shown much on his first couple of starts but has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and stepped up to defy massive odds in 8-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) in February. However, well below that level at Bangor later that month. Handicap debut.
|
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner last season and also second in this race 12 months ago. Didn't take to chasing when pulled up at Warwick in September and fared no better back over hurdles at Kempton (24.5f) in November. Absent since but drop back in trip a likely plus.
|
Showed fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 bumpers starts for Harry Whittington last season. Promise on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles for new stable this term and undergone a second wind op since disappointing at Exeter in January. Handicap debut.
|
Fair maiden. who has finished runner-up both starts on the back of wind surgery, latterly in 6-runner Exeter handicap (18.5f) 2 weeks ago (Imperial Saint placed third). Return to this longer trip rates a plus and he looks sure to give his running again.
|
Back to winning ways in 2m mares' handicap here at the beginning of February. Hasn't reproduced that level since, albeit an aggressive ride seeming to catch her out when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Not discounted from an easing mark.
|
Point/bumper winner who was placed in maiden hurdles in 2021/22 season. Hasn't always impressed with his jumping over fences since returning from an absence and latest run at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) was particularly disappointing. Return to timber/cheekpieces needs to have positive effect.
|
Fair winning hurdler, successful over C&D 11 months ago. Largely consistent efforts in defeat over fences subsequently but he does need to shrug off a lesser run at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Not the type to stay down for long.

Forecasts
Imperial Saint (9/4), Just Over Land (10/3), King Of The Lake (9/2), He Knows Better (17/2), Lubeat Foras (11/1), Stans The Man (12/1), Walkinthewoods (14/1), Jerrash (20/1), Heure De Gloire (22/1), Absolute Steel (40/1)
IMPERIAL SAINT again ran well and highlighted this longer trip is worth exploring when third at Exeter (18.5f) 2 weeks ago and he shades the vote to build on that run and come out on top. This is competitive though, with Just Over Land, King of The Lake and Heure de Gloire heading up the dangers.
