Shaped well sole start in bumpers and built on encouraging hurdles debut when second of 12 upped to 21f in a Warwick maiden last month. Remains open to improvement and he's a leading player.
|
£80,000 4-y-o. Successful sole run between the flags in February 2023 and, though absent since, he needs a close look on Rules debut for his in-form new yard.
|
Fairly useful at best on the Flat for Mick Appleby and has shown some promise in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles at Southwell and Huntingdon for his new handler. No forlorn hope.
|
Fair form shown in bumpers for Joe Ponting, third of 8 at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut for excellent new yard.
|
Fair 7f winner on Flat for Aidan O'Brien. Much better effort in this sphere when second of 9 in novice hurdle here (16f, soft) 18 days ago. Not ruled out back up in trip.
|
80/1, never-dangerous fourteenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft) on debut last May for John Hanlon. Lots more is required.
|
Last of 6 in novice hurdle here (16f, good to soft, 10/1) on hurdles bow 61 days ago. Up in trip now.
|
Little impact in a couple of bumpers and needs a big step forward now going hurdling.

Forecasts
Escapologist (5/4), Aviation (5/4), Mohawk Chief (6/1), Dwight K Schrute (9/1), Educator (18/1), Wingmann (200/1), Walk The Plank (300/1), Suzy Wood (300/1)
AVIATION holds the best form on offer so is taken to build on his Warwick second and get off the mark in this sphere. Hurdling newcomers Dwight K Schrute and Escapologist are both in good hands and need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
