Showed ability in bumpers and given a considerate introduction to hurdling when sixth in a Stratford novice in October. Confirmed that promise when beating a subsequent winner (pair clear of the rest) at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) the following month and he remains open to improvement.
|
Promising individual who upped his game when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 56 days ago, pushed out. This is more competitive but he should have more to offer.
|
Failed to complete at Kelso last month and had made little impact in both starts previously. Hard to recommend.
|
Runner-up sole start in bumpers and shown promise in both starts in this sphere, latest when second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Likely more to come yet.
|
Sent off big odds and offered little in both starts over hurdles here.
|
Fourth in course bumper this time last year but unlikely to be of any interest over hurdles until handicapping, judged on his 3 efforts this winter.
|
Runner-up sole point in Ireland and offered something to work on when second of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. Not taken lightly on switch to hurdling.
|
Runner-up in Newcastle bumper in March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). In good hands and may get back on track now hurdling in first-time hood.
|
Easy point winner in Ireland from successful jumps family but yet to trouble the judge in a trio of starts under Rules, including on debut for new yard at Kelso last month.
|
Down the field in 2 hurdles at Perth over the summer and makes little appeal this side of handicaps. Hooded for first time.

Forecasts
Next Twist (11/8), Bras D'or (15/8), Kilnesare Flight (4/1), Triple Crown Ted (9/2), Luckie Devil (66/1), Coylton King (80/1), Bennys Jenny (150/1), Belvedere Bhoy (300/1), Breaking Ground (300/1), Ck O'mara (500/1)
Preference is for BRAS D'OR, who has acquitted himsell well in both starts over timber and remains with potential. Next Twist and Triple Crown Ted look the likeliest dangers.
