Won a small-field bumper for Don Cantillon in April. Well held starting out for new yard at Galway in August but reasonable start to hurdles career with a brace of places efforts this autumn. That sets the standard.

£15,000 4-y-o, Linda's Lad gelding. Dam, fair staying chase winner, is a half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 21f) The Great Nudie. Maiden pointer in the spring and on the back of a breathing operation, he showed some ability from the front when fourth at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago.

£75,000 buy who was runner-up only outing in Irish points and went one better on Rules debut in a 6-runner Bangor bumper in October 2024. Excellent second at Southwell 2 months later and he should be a big factor now hurdling.

Forecasts

North Of Richmond (4/6), Storming George (7/4), Codetalker (5/2), American Empire (4/1), Fox Cottage (33/1)

Verdict

This is likely to go the way of a hurdles newcomer with bumper-winners STORMING GEORGE and North of Richmond above-average recruits to this code. Marginal preference is for the Neil King runner.
