£60,000 Irish point recruit who returned from 22 months off with a promising second in 2m course novice on his hurdling bow in November. Found only one too good again at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) since and remains open to improvement now stepping up in trip.
|
No show both starts over hurdles 9 months apart. Up in trip.
|
Walk In The Park gelding who was runner-up sole start in Irish points and went one better making Rules debut when winning 7-runner bumper at Ffos Las in January, powering clear in taking fashion. Failed to land the odds on Lingfield hurdles debut (19.5f) but seems sure to progress.
|
Easily beat only other finisher on sole start in Irish points (Nov 2024) but shaped with only minor promise on his belated Rules debut in a novice hurdle at Warwick in November. Big step forward required.
|
£65,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Ben Dundee. Winner of a maiden point in February and showed plenty to work on when fourth of 10 in a C&D maiden on hurdles bow in October. Should improve.
|
Bought for £105,000 after winning a 2-finisher point and nearly justified support on Rules debut when a narrow second in a 9-runner bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) in January. Finished a well-held third on his Leicester hurdling debut in November but should do better.
|
Winning Irish pointer but no promise so far under Rules.
|
Posted some useful efforts in defeat for Alan King last season, notably when second in EBF Final at Sandown in March (changed hands for £250,000 after). Stepped up from his reappearance/stable debut when beaten only by a useful prospect at Ascot 3 weeks ago and sets a good standard.
|
Malinas gelding who shaped better than first time up under Rules when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft, 66/1) 33 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark.
|
Fair bumper performer who left his hurdling debut well behind when 11 lengths second of 8 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (good to soft) 33 days ago. More needed contesting a better race here, however.
|
£52,000 4-y-o, Zanzibari gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Aime Desjy and prolific French chaser winner Victoire Desjy. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but was well held at Huntingdon on Rules debut last month.
|
Green when failing to meet market expectations on his sole outing in bumpers and was still in need of the experience sent hurdling after 11 months off when fourth of 5 in a novice at this course (15.8f, soft) 60 days ago. Will be suited by this step up in trip and open to improvement.

Giantsgrave (11/10), Bobby's Nelson (10/3), Off The Jury (10/3), Jury's In (7/1), Karma Police (22/1), Jackpot Cauveliere (40/1), Trade War (40/1), Times Are Green (50/1), Big Lou (100/1), Tom Desjy (150/1), The Moonlight Man (250/1), Eaststone Buck's (300/1), Manhattan Valley (300/1)
Dan Skelton's novice hurdlers have generally been taking a big step forward from first to second run and there's every reason to believe GIANTSGRAVE can do the same, especially now back under more testing conditions. Off The Jury has some strong form to his name and was unlucky to bump into one destined for better things at Ascot on his most recent outing, while Bobby's Nelson remains open to improvement now stepping up in trip.
