£110,000 Califet gelding. Dam (c111/h110), 17f-3m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Boreham Bill. Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed clear promise for all that he ran out a very fortunate winner on his Newbury hurdles debut 4 weeks ago. Can improve.
|
Changed hands for £350,000 after winning sole start in Irish points and shaped well when runner-up on Rules debut in a Ffos Las novice in November (15.8f, heavy). Went backwards upped in trip at Newbury subsequently but well worth another chance.
|
Successful on sole outing in Irish points but went with little promise switched to hurdles at Uttoxeter in November. Has had a breathing operation since.
|
Well held in a bumper and was always behind when making his hurdles bow at Ffos Las (heavy) 56 days ago. One for the longer term.
|
Showed nothing when pulled up in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft, 300/1) on NH debut 34 days ago.
|
Dual bumper winner who understandably shaped as if needing the run after almost 2 years off when a well-held sixth at Bangor in November. Subsequently chased home a potentially smart novice in Sixmilebridge at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) and likely to progress further.
|
Hadn't looked much in bumpers and was never dangerous on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter.
|
Made no impact sole outing in bumpers at Warwick last month. Significantly up in trip for hurdle bow.
|
Offered little only start in bumpers and has fared no better in 2 starts since switched to hurdles.

Forecasts
Sole Solution (11/10), Buckna (6/4), King Califet (11/2), Strong As Steel (12/1), Gamblergo (25/1), Tuscany (33/1), Johnny Boy (66/1), Dontworrywegotthis (200/1), Poete Ardent (200/1)
BUCKNA was a bit disappointing upped in trip at Newbury last month, but he's well worth another chance based on his hurdling debut promise, a performance supported by the clock. King Califet ran out a very fortunate winner on his hurdling debut at Newbury but shaped clear second best on the day nonetheless and can be expected to improve, with Sole Solution also of firm interest.
