Coral Racing Club Join For Free Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Looked highly promising in France for Daniela Mele when winning second of 2 starts over hurdles at Auteuil (17.5f, soft) last May. Yard debut second in Triumph Hurdle trial at Cheltenham (16.5f) was most encouraging and he's the one to beat despite his 10 lb penalty. Had wind surgery.

A fairly useful 9.5f winner on Flat for Andrew Balding but finished a remote sixth when 50/1 for his C&D hurdle debut over Christmas.

Proved regressive on the Flat but all the better for hurdle debut experience with first-time blinkers added when bagging 8-runner juvenile maiden at Doncaster (16.4) 29 days ago.

Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for Jamie Osborne. Shaped better than a remote third suggests on last month's Catterick hurdle debut for Warren Greatrex, paying for an overly aggressive ride. Has a hood added now. Capable of better.

Fairly useful Flat winner. 8/1, ran to a fair level when 8 lengths fifth of 8 in 2m Sandown juvenile (soft) on hurdle debut 5 weeks ago. Entitled to improve.

Fair form when third both outings on the Flat in France. Changed hands for €140,000 last summer. Joined a good stable for his hurdle career and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland (stays 1¾m) who overcame a few scruffy leaps to make a successful yard/hurdles switch in 11-runner Taunton juvenile 11 days ago, jumping right last and drawing clear. In good hands and he's very much the type to improve.

Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat (stays 1¾m), well held last 3 starts. Sold from Andrew Balding 6,000 gns in October and now goes hurdling.
