Notched his fifth success over fences at Wincanton (2½m) in November. Little to shout about in 3 subsequent chase starts but back on track faced with an easier assignment returned to hurdling when second at Stratford 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and he sets the standard.

Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 9f, well held on stable debut at Bath. Limited impact on hurdles bow and stamina to prove over this far.

Showed ability in bumpers but looks a handicap project over hurdles. Tongue tie applied.

Fetched £50,000 as a 3-y-o and she's out of a 2m hurdle winner. Unseated rider when beaten on her introduction in a Chepstow bumper in March 2023 and merely hinted at ability 8 months later.

Forecasts

Huelgoat (1/4), Eileen's Milan (6/1), Go Johnny Go (9/1), Dontmesswithme (11/1), Sweet Caryline (28/1), Victoria Line (40/1), Dartman (40/1), Goldies Roc (80/1), Henry Pick (150/1)

Verdict

HUELGOAT isn't as good over hurdles as he is fences but even so, he's expected to outclass these. Stablemate Eileen's Milan goes up in trip now tackling obstacles and could be the chief threat in a thin race.
