Pertemps Network Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Looked in need of the experience on debut when eighth of 11 in a course bumper in November and much more like it when third switched to hurdling er Hereford a month later.

Fair bumper winner who was turned over at short odds in 4-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f) on hurdles bow in December. Bumped into an improver when second at Wincanton a week ago and another bold bid is forthcoming.

Multiple scorer on the Flat in France and, equipped with a first-time hood, didn't shape at all badly when fourth in a 9-runner Bangor novice (16.7f, heavy) on debut in this sphere. Improved on that when second at Leicester a month ago and type to go on progressing for his excellent yard.

Useful form on Flat (stays 15.5f) in France, last of 5 in Group 3 last time. Sold from A. Fabre €25,000 in November and possesses the raw ability to be a big factor if taking to hurdling.

Merely hinted at ability both starts 10 months apart.

Showed a fair level of ability in 2 Irish bumpers for Stuart Crawford but well beaten in a pair of hurdles for new yard. Likely he's more one for handicaps after this.

No threat both starts and looks a longer-term project.

Getaway sister to fairly useful hurdler Listentoyourheart and half-sister to hurdle winner Miss Corby. Big price and well held when unseating rider on last week's C&D hurdles debut.

Seemingly hard to train and little positives to draw from both hurdles starts.
