Bettered his fairly useful winning hurdle form when second in 2m handicaps at Warwick and this venue on his first 2 starts over fences. Something can't have been right when pulled up at Hereford last time and he's capable of bouncing back.
|
Progressed into a fairly useful hurdler last season and has matched that level when placed in 19.5f handicap chases at Chepstow and Wetherby this winter. Pulled clear of the rest when second at the latter venue 4 weeks ago and looks well treated off the same mark.
|
Won juvenile hurdle decisively on sole start in France but no significant impact in a pair of handicap hurdles in the mud for new connections in December. Remains unexposed now chasing but a watching brief is the percentage call.
|
Bumper/hurdle winner but never involved on Sandown chase debut/reappearance, albeit he faced a stiffish task from out of the handicap. May do better this time.

Forecasts
Bashers Reflection (6/4), The Good Doctor (11/4), All Authorized (10/3), Kikijo (9/2)
BASHERS REFLECTION's latest Wetherby second looks a solid piece of form and he's taken to make it fifth time lucky over fences, although The Good Doctor will be a threat if able to bounce straight back from a poor run at Hereford.
- The Good Doctor11/4
- All Authorized10/3
