Next Meeting At LeicesterRaces Wednesday 11th December Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Never featured in 2 bumpers but some promise in novice/maiden hurdles during second half of last term. Switch to handicaps a plus on return and the betting can prove a useful guide.

Fairly useful form on Flat for Ralph Beckett, stays 1½m. Acquired for 58,000 gns by present connections and whilst he's offered only minor promise in trio of quick-fire runs in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months, he appeals as the type to make more of an impact now handicapping.

Down the field in bumpers and similar story in novice/maiden hurdles last season. Goes handicapping now after 8 months off but progress required.

Fair maiden over hurdles for Henry Daly but didn't convince in 2 starts over fences for that yard during 2021. Pulled up for new yard, following a lengthy absence in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f) 4 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that well behind. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Showed a fair level of ability on first of 2 starts in bumpers but mixed record in 5 starts over hurdles to date, including in pair of handicaps. Quickly back down in trip on the back of his latest Ffos Las run, which could help. Hood/tongue tie fitted.

Runner-up in a point and promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles at around 2m last winter. Will hold more chance now handicapping and interesting if the market spoke in his favour back from 10 months off.

No impact in 3 hurdles last winter. Boasts a fair level of ability on the Flat but easy to back and disappointing switched to handicaps in this sphere when pulled up at Fakenham (20f) 5 weeks ago.

Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Winless to date in this sphere but did produce one of his better recent efforts when fourth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) in October and subsequent Taunton run best overlooked. Can figure from such a lowly mark.

Wasn't beaten far when fifth in an 8-runner Ludlow handicap (15.8f, heavy) on final run of last season and would have finished well held before taking a late fall on return at Stratford (16.3f) 7 weeks ago. More needed.
