Runner-up both starts in Irish points in spring 2023. Got no further than the first (had took strong hold) on his Uttoxeter hurdles debut in May but looked a fairly good prospect when scoring readily at Plumpton (15.9f) only 8 days later. Yard strugging at present but he's open to improvement.

Dam half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 21f) Sea Lord. Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 9.5f), successful 4 times in 2024, including at Wolverhampton last time. Interesting recruit to hurdling.

Timeform
Placed on 3 of 4 starts in bumpers and possibly paid for having first stab at closing down the runaway winner on his Chepstow hurdling debut (2m) 22 days ago. Entitled to do better.
|
Timeform
Runner-up sole start in points and both bumper efforts certainly not devoid of promise but is probably one for later on.
|
Timeform
Clearly signs of ability when placed both starts in bumpers (fair form) but faces a fairly stiff task on hurdle debut.
|
Timeform
Better effort in bumpers when fourth of 9 at Kempton on debut in February and also shaped with some promise when filling same spot in a juvenile hurdle at Chepstow in April. Should do better somewhere down the line.

Forecasts

Clap Of Thunder (5/6), Tripoli Flyer (15/8), Illegal D'ainay (3/1), The Ron Do Ron (9/2), Tackletommywoowoo (11/1), Beylerbeyi (22/1), Kingston Bresil (40/1)

Verdict

TRIPOLI FLYER progressed with each run in bumpers last season, culminating with an excellent second in a Grade 2 at Aintree on final outing, and looks a novice hurdler to follow. Illegal d'Ainay and Clap of Thunder are fancied to battle it out for minor honours.
