Third in an Irish point in May 2024. It's taken a while for new connections to get him to the track (has had wind surgery) and might be best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
|
Point/bumper winner who has shown promise on both his starts in this sphere, 14¾ lengths sixth of 7 in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December. Tongue strap on first time. Capable of better and big player back in calmer waters.
|
Little to shout about in a couple of maiden hurdles to date and probably more one for handicaps later on.
|
Fetched €170,000 as a 3-y-o and represents a top yard. 13/2, never in the hunt after a bad mistake at the first when 28 lengths seventh off 11 in 21f Warwick maiden hurdle on debut 10 weeks ago but could prove a different proposition now.
|
From a family which has served his owner well but he was comfortably held in a Warwick bumper last spring. Has switched to Warren Greatrex for his hurdle career. The betting should help guide to expectations.
|
Made the frame all 3 completed starts in Irish points and fair form when repeating that feat 4 times over hurdles, including handicaps last twice. No reason why he won't give his running but probably vulnerable to improvers back in a maiden.
|
Has a good pedigree but he dropped away quickly on his 2m Lingfield debut 13 days ago.
|
2-16 in the pointing field. Coming to hurdling late in the day and he's a likely outsider.
|
In the frame in Irish points but 66/1 when pulled up in Doncaster novice hurdle for new connections in December.
|
€45,000 3-y-o. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (winner around 2m) Hinterland and French hurdler/chase winner (17f-2¼m winner) Lofte Place. The stable had a winning hurdle newcomer here earlier in the month so market support for this one could prove significant.
|
Runner-up first 2 starts in bumpers but has yet to better modest form over hurdles and is unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.
|
Placed in bumpers and in 2m maiden hurdles at Uttoxeter (heavy) and Huntingdon (soft) in recent months. Likely capable of better now stepping back up in trip and the mount of Sean Bowen from the Olly Murphy pair.
|
Maiden pointer. 33/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) on debut 29 days ago, weakening after 4 out.

Big Cadillac (1/1), Pertemps (7/2), Zamek (4/1), Jonny Setaside (13/2), Blue Run (7/1), Escort'kheops (15/2), Always Stronger (10/1), Double Tiger (33/1), It's Party Time (125/1), Tombereau (150/1), Noble George (150/1), Imnottalkingtoyou (150/1), Blazing Saint (200/1), Felix Maximus (200/1)
BIG CADILLAC wasn't disgraced in a Grade 2 last time and can make it third time lucky over hurdles with his sights lowered. Olly Murphy pair Pertemps and Zamek have achieved a similar level of form to the selection and ought to be on the premises again, while Nicky Henderson's Blue Run could take a step forward from his debut.
