Racing To School Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

£60,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point and showed promise when third in an Ayr bumper in March. Decent start in this sphere at Sedgefield/Newcastle and longer distance could suit. Tongue strap/headgear on 1st time.

In good form over the larger obstacles, going close to breaking his duck in this headgear at Wetherby on final start for Patrick Neville. Capable of being in the mix here back over hurdles.

£155,000 Point winner from the family of Irish National winner Thunder And Roses. Showed plenty when fourth in novice at Doncaster over a year ago. Shaped as if needing run at Windsor on belated comeback last month and better expected now.

Much improved when placed at Newcastle last 2 starts, beaten only by a pair of last-time-out winners last time. Likely to stay and can go well again in first-time headgear. Engaged 2.30 Newcastle Sunday.

Leopardstown bumper winner on debut. Winless since but best effort for this yard when third in similar event at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Visor on 1st time.

Winner sole start in points and has made an encouraging start over hurdles, still looking green when third of 11 in 2m4f Ayr maiden last month. Capable of better up in trip.

No promise both starts in bumpers.
