Coventry & Warwickshire Food & Drink Showcase Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Fair in bumpers and won 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) in cosy fashion in March. Has recorded good runner-up efforts under a penalty this summer and looks the obvious danger to Yokkell.

Has shown ability but also looked a hard ride in bumpers, tending to pull hard. Hurdles need to help him to settle better.

Third in an Aintree bumper in May 2022 but not seen again until last of 5 in maiden hurdle at Wincanton in February. Off a further 6 months since.

Half-brother to Latenightpass. Four-time point winner who ran to a fair level when second in a 3¼m Cheltenham hunter chase in May. Drops significantly in trip now hurdling and suspicion he won't have the pace to live with the previous hurdle winners in this line-up.

Fairly useful on Flat and translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring by 19 lengths at Down Royal at the end of August. Hard to beat with improvement likely.

Runner-up in a point in May but well held on Worcester hurdle debut 8 days ago.
