Join The 20 Club At Huntingdon Racecourse Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Back to something like hurdling debut form returned to better conditions last time, finishing fifth of 8 in novice at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) following 13 weeks off. Not ruled out if he can build on that run now sent handicapping.

Bumper winner who has improved of late over hurdles, not out of the placings in his last 4 starts, including 2 victories, most recently over C&D 23 days ago when jumping well to land a 5-runner handicap. That form looks solid and he could follow up from a 3 lb higher mark.

Failed to build on earlier promise on his handicap bow when pulled up at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) in January. Has a bit to find returning from a break following breathing surgery.

Signs of ability in qualifying hurdle runs but easy to back and fared no better on handicap debut. Seemed to go be amiss when pulled-up at Bangor last month. Questions to answer in first-time cheekpieces.

Justified support making yard debut when readily scoring in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f) in November and has reproduced that form twice subsequently over hurdles, latest when creditable third of 7 in a handicap at this venue (20.6f). Solid claims.
