catterickbridge.co.uk Handicap Hurdle

Yet to make a real impact in a handful of starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Uttoxeter 39 days ago. Improvement required.

Been given a chance by the handicapper but no obvious signs in recent outings that he is poised to take advantage.

Belatedly off the mark when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. 3 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Found improvement since sent handicapping, latest when good second of 9 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and holds solid claims.

Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.7f, good to soft, 9/4) 33 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and is one for shortlist.

Below form at Doncaster latest but had made the frame in a couple of handicaps over this sort of trip previously and can't be ruled out. Cheekpieces on first time.

Lightly-raced maiden who was weakening when coming down 2 out at Southwell when last seen in November. Improvement required to take a hand here.

Yet to fire this term, finishing a well-held seventh over longer trip at Sedgefield last time. Blinkers now tried but he has something to prove at present.
