Download The At The Races App Selling Hurdle

Useful sort at his best who cashed in on a reduced mark when landing a Market Rasen handicap hurdle (20.6f, good to soft) in January. Shade disappointing in a claimer at Catterick last time but that was a stronger race than this and he's hard to oppose on these terms.

Irish import who bettered previous efforts for this yard when second in a 6-runner novice seller at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) with cheekpieces reapplied in March. No show in a Hereford handicap since but good chance of picking up some place money back down in grade.

Caused a surprise on first run since leaving Olly Murphy when landing a weak novice at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) in February, belying odds of 40/1 in the process. Both subsequent efforts have been poor but definite place claims at this level with a useful conditional in the hot-seat.

Little in the way of worthwile form, particularly since joining present yard, and he looks set for another struggle.

Some bits and pieces of fair form to his name during his time with Ben Pauling but pulled up both starts under Rules for present connections.

Modest form at best in bumpers and well held both starts in this sphere.

Shaped well when runner-up on handicap debut at Catterick in February but hasn't managed to reproduce that form in 3 subsequent appearances. Faces an uphill battle on these terms.
