Touch And Try Trophy Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Sold for 34,000 gns and confirmed the promise he'd been in the process of showing on his hurdling debut when readily winning 7-runner Cartmel novice in July. Fair third under a penalty back at that venue since.

Well held in a Wetherby bumper for Mark Walford in March 2024. Off 18 months after and moved yards but went with a bit more promise sent hurdling at Kelso 3 weeks ago (20.9f).

Placed in a pair of good-ground bumpers last season and didn't offer much over hurdles last month.

Signs of only a little ability in a bumper/2 novice hurdles.

£70,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who confirmed the promise of his bumper debut when landing 7-runner contest here in March. Very likely sort on hurdles debut.

Several solid efforts over hurdles but heavy defeat fitted with headgear at Worcester a fortnight ago certainly wasn't one of them. Definite player at this level on pick of his form.

Fair bumper winner who translated all that ability to hurdles when going close in 2m Newcastle maiden on first attempt in February. Held back by mistakes both starts since but a definite player at this level if brushing up in that department.

Shaped like a stayer both starts and looks one for longer term.
