TrustATrader Approved And Reviewed Trades People Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Useful handicapper on Flat, albeit lightly raced in recent times. Landed the odds with the minimum of fuss on second hurdles start at Kempton a month ago and sure to leave bare form behind.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Terresita. Promise when hitting the frame both starts in bumpers in October.

€140,000 3-y-o, Authorized gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Eternal Army and a winning jumper in USA. Dam maiden on Flat. Well backed and made a promising start when second of 6 in a bumper at Ascot a month ago. Has to be of interest now hurdling.

Runner-up sole start in points and made a winning start under Rules when taking 6-runner Fontwell bumper (13.7f, heavy) in March. Runner-up both starts over hurdles despite not looking the finished article and there should be plenty more to come.

Successful sole outing in points and showed plenty to work on when third of 4 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, good) last month. Sent hurdling and looked in need of a stiffer test of stamina when occupying same spot at Southwell.

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 17f), gaining deserved success at Catterick in October. Stamina no issue but he may just need this experience now hurdling.

Dam unraced sister to high-class hurdler (stayed 3m) Kilcooley. Belied odds of 18/1 to make a comfortable winning debut in a bumper at Ayr for Donald Whillans. Sold for £90,000 and a shade disappointing in a course bumper. Yard going better now and he was fourth on last month's hurdles bow.

Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdle winner/chaser Monbeg Charmer and useful hurdle winner/fairly useful chaser Tokay Dokey. Already had a breathing operation but yard's newcomers command respect.

Runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in June 2023 but well beaten in another bumper and completed start over hurdles since.

Took a keen hold and tailed off in well-contested 3-y-o Newbury bumper last Christmas for Tom Lacey. Third in a point in April but didn't achieve a great deal on last month's hurdles debut.
