BetMGM King Of The Golden Darts 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Useful form in bumpers, faring best of the British-trained runners when fourth in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last March. Yet to come close to that level in a couple of starts over hurdles but it's still early days. Had wind operation.

Made the ideal start when landing bumper at Ffos Las on debut in autumn 2024. Similar form when midfield under a penalty next time and he showed more than being pulled up suggests in novice hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, heavy) 12 months ago. Remains open to improvement.

Limited promise in 2 bumpers and no impact in a couple of starts in this sphere.

Fair bumper winner who was turned over at short odds in 4-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f) on hurdles bow in December. Entitled to improve on that, however, and must enter calculations.

Runner-up sole completed start in points but hasn't offered much in either start over timber.

Fair in bumpers last term and ran to similar level when fifth on Cheltenham hurdles bow in October. Not built on that yet but could be a player if handling these testing conditions.

Placed all 3 starts in points but eased as though amiss on Rules debut in Aintree bumper in May and finished well beaten on hurdles bow for new yard at Chepstow last month.

Dunaden mare. Half-sister to useful chaser Bishops Court and fair hurdler Malinas Island. Dam 2m hurdle/chase winner. Successful in points but pulled up when last seen in May and is likely to need her first start under Rules.

Passing Glance mare who showed plenty of inexperience when twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Likely a longer-term prospect.

Failed to complete both starts in points and yet to trouble the judge in a trio of starts over hurdles, albeit was shaping better than previously when unseating rider 3 out here last month. Others more persuasive.

Yet to achieve anything in form terms, typically too free when pulled up in similar race here last month.
