Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 23) and created a positive impression when following up on Rules debut in a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) 5 weeks ago, jumping accurately and quickening to lead before 2 out. Prime claims under a penalty with progress anticipated.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat (stays 10.5f) but finished well held both starts in maiden/novice hurdles for new yard in recent months.
|
Little impact in a couple of bumpers and similar story in pair of maiden/novice hurdles upon returning to action this winter. Handicaps will be more his bag after this.
|
Fairly useful on Flat on balance of form in France (seems to stay 1½m) and twice in-the-frame in 2023. Acquired by new connections for €62,000 later that year and whilst absent since, market confidence behind him in the betting would look significant now hurdling. One to note.
|
Teofilo gelding who is bred more for the Flat and little encouragement when last of 16 in a C&D bumper 9 months ago, tailed-off straight. Passed over now hurdling on reappearance.
|
Unplaced both starts in points and failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Fairyhouse in November, he offered little starting out for new yard when ninth of 12 in a novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 3 weeks ago.
|
Hillstar gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, 1m winner who stayed 11.5f on Flat. Failed to beat a rival sole start in point bumpers/pulled up sole start in points (Dec 29). Best watched making Rules/hurdles bow.

Forecasts
Vanderpoel (1/8), King Of Records (8/1), Grenardier (9/1), Tracking Treasure (33/1), Arkendale (125/1), Wick Hill (125/1), Tican (250/1)
Winning pointer VANDERPOEL created a positive impression when making a successful debut over hurdles at Huntingdon 5 weeks ago and open to improvement, he looks to hold outstanding claims in his bid to make it 2-2 under Rules. King of Records has a lengthy absence to overcome but was a fairly useful operator on the Flat in France and he could emerge as the lead danger on debut for Venetia Williams.
- Vanderpoel1/8
- Grenardier9/1
