Came good at third time of asking in bumpers at Newcastle (17f, good) in October. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling after 5 months off.
|
Fair maiden for Gordon Elliott and made a sound start for new connections when second in a 2m Hexham maiden (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip with a first-time tongue tie added to the cheekpieces he wore at Hexham. Should be thereabouts.
|
Modest maiden but he has run with credit when reaching the frame in handicaps on 3 of his last 4 starts, finishing runner-up at Catterick in cheekpieces (retained) on the latest.
|
Barely modest form when runner-up in handicap hurdle and chase for Tom Ellis and well beaten in course handicap chase on stable debut in November. Off since (has had wind surgery).
|
Point winner. Fourth in a Newcastle bumper and Hexham maiden hurdle this year, although the reopposing Nathan Wells was ahead in second at the latter.
|
Third in an Irish point and shaping up quite well over hurdles, finishing third of 11 in19f Carlisle handicap last month. Likely has bigger performances in him.
|
Second at Catterick (2m) for Dan Skelton in January but allowed to leave that top yard after a lesser run at Huntingdon next time. In fourth and in touch with the leaders when fell heavily 2 out in C&D handicap on yard debut 23 days ago. Has something to find back in a maiden.
|
Third in a 2m Wetherby juvenile in February but last of 6 at Carlisle since. Still early days but the step up in trip this afternoon needs to unlock some improvement.

Forecasts
Tyson Magoo (6/4), Rehill Relic (2/1), Masterpiece (9/2), Soldier In Mayo (9/1), Nathan Wells (11/1), Lautrec De Cougny (33/1), Far Away West (50/1), Selectivelistening (80/1)
MASTERPIECE had a couple of subsequent winners behind him when landing a bumper in the autumn and might prove up to making a winning start to his jumps career in a race where those with hurdle experience don't set the bar that high. Tyson Magoo has been shaping up reasonably well and may provide the main threat ahead of last month's Hexham runner-up Nathan Wells.
- Masterpiece9/2
