2/5
Useful bumper scorer in 2022 who made light of a two-year absence when easily landing the odds in 2m novice at Uttoxeter on his hurdles bow 38 days ago. Has plenty of scope to improve and has excellent claims of defying a penalty at the first time of asking.

Fairly useful on the Flat in France and made a winning start to hurdling for Francois Nicolle at Cholet in October. Made no impact pitched into deepish waters on first start for this yard at Haydock 2 months later and may do better.

5/2
Fairly useful bumper winner last season who translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when second on 17f Exeter reappearance. Went one better with plenty in hand at Carlisle (17f) since and appeals as the type to go on improving.

Made the frame both starts in points and shaped with some encouragement when third in a small-field bumper at Stratford on Rules debut in September. Subsequently sold out of Max Young's yard for 19,000 gns ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Modest form at best in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) in March 2023. Absent since. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Forecasts

Fingle Bridge (2/5), Wellington Arch (5/2), Dark Mix (10/1), Monaco Rules (16/1), Caramelo Rapido (50/1), Monteplex (66/1), Midnight Potter (66/1), Superior Glance (125/1)

Verdict

FINGLE BRIDGE and Wellington Arch look the pair to focus on. The former brushed off a 2-year absence when justifying substantial support in impressive fashion on his Uttoxeter hurdling debut just over 5 weeks ago and is narrowly preferred with significant improvement on the cards.

  1. Fingle Bridge2/5
  2. Wellington Arch5/2
  3. Monaco Rules16/1
