Well backed and showed plenty when runner-up on debut in an Ascot bumper in November. Again shaped well when third in 10-runner novice on hurdles bow at Huntingdon the following month and clearly the one to beat here, despite failing to progress when only third of 5 at Doncaster last time.

Flat-bred gelding who got back on track following 10 months off when winning 5-runner bumper at Stratford in October, making all and quickening clear straight. However, far too headstrong and very little promise switched to hurdles the last twice. Yard also saddles Stylia.

The second of his 2 starts in bumpers resulted in a promising third of 12 at Fontwell last January but he has suffered heavy defeats in both runs over hurdles so far.

Left his debut effort well behind when cosily landing a 9-runner bumper at Market Rasen last summer. Put in his place at Ludlow next time and then checked out rather tamely on hurdles bow at Wetherby, but the latter was a Class 2 contest and he's surely capable of better in this sphere.

Made frame in points and shaped with a fair amount of promise when third of 13 in 21f Clonmel hunter on Rules debut last January. However, he was well beaten on hurdles/yard debut when making his seasonal reappearance at Bangor last month.

3/1
Runner-up in a point and struck at the second time of asking in bumpers at Hereford last January. While that form isn't nothing to get too excited about, there is at least some substance to it (second, third and fourth are all subsequent winners) and he's respected on hurdles debut for new yard.

Runner-up in an Irish point and hinted at promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las on Rules debut in November. However, she has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts and is probably more one for the longer-term.

Winless following 8 attempts in maiden points and showed next to nothing on Rules debut in a Ffos Las bumper 3 months ago (has undergone a wind op in the interim). Tongue strap enlisted now switched to hurdles and huge step forward needed.

Forecasts

Eternal Angel (1/3), South Omo Zone (3/1), I'd Go Maniac (15/2), Gore Point (22/1), Grenadier Jed (33/1), Pulse Of Camelot (50/1), Stylia (66/1), Whatmakes Honey B (250/1)

Verdict

It was a shade disappointing that ETERNAL ANGEL failed to deliver when sent off favourite for a Doncaster novice during the Christmas period, having shaped well prior to that in a bumper and on debut in this sphere at Huntingdon. However, he still showed enough on Town Moor to suggest that a race of this nature will be well within his grasp. Bumper winner South Omo Zone is interesting switched to hurdles on his first run for Olly Murphy and is clear second choice ahead of I'd Go Maniac.
