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.

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.

Runner-up sole start in points and both bumper efforts certainly not devoid of promise but is probably one for later on.

Clearly signs of ability when placed both starts in bumpers (fair form) but faces a fairly stiff task on hurdle debut.

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.
