Equine Products UK Best Turned Out Handicap Hurdle

Fair maiden on the Flat who stepped up on his 2 previous runs over hurdles when second of 6 in juvenile (25/1) at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) when last seen in March. Still looked a handful there but looks to have got into handicaps on a fair-looking mark.

Out of sorts since winning a Catterick maiden hurdle (15.7f, soft) in February 2024. Off again since latest start in April but returns from a tempting mark.

Modest on Flat and similar form over hurdles, opening his account in 7-runner handicap at Hexham (16.2f, good to firm) in the summer. Good second over C&D next time and this race doesn't look too strong.

Showed a bit in juvenile hurdles last season and an interesting runner making the quick switch to handicaps on return.

Belatedly off the mark in C&D novice handicap hurdle last month. 5 lb rise asks for more.

Another good run on the level in the mud at Ayr last time but his wait for a first victory in either sphere continues.

Landed back-to-back Market Rasen handicaps in June and back to form at Sedgefield a fortnight ago. Has gone well here before.

Modest maiden under both codes, well held on the level of late. Little impact in 2 handicap hurdles in autumn 2023 but 11 lb lower than for last of them now.

Poor form completed starts over hurdles, well held again on handicap debut at Musselburgh when last seen in February.

Maiden hurdler/chaser probably in better heart than his form figures would suggest when last seen, left in a poor position after a significant mid-race error on latest outing over fences here in May. One to note making handicap hurdle debut dropped in trip on return fitted with headgear.

Better signs over hurdles last few starts but more needed to get his head in front. Different headgear again tried.

Maiden hurdle winner in June 2023 but has offered little in handicaps for either current or previous connections.
