Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Well below bumper form when fourth of 11 in novice (12/1) at Fontwell (19.1f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 128 days ago. Likely one for longer term.

Dual point winner who shaped as if amiss in hunter chase at Cheltenham on NH debut last May. Likely best watched on hurdles bow for new yard.

Promising sort who has made the frame both starts over hurdles, shaping bit better than distance beaten suggests when third of 6 in maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and he appeals as the type to do better.

Bumper scorer who built on promising start in this sphere when close second at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. Not quite in same form latest but remains with potential. Tongue strap on first time.

Very tall gelding who finished runner-up sole start in Irish points last May. Shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth of 7 in novice at Cheltenham (19.9f, good) on hurdles bow in October. Had a breathing operation subsequently and is likely to improve.

Shaped with a good deal of promise when runner-up on debut in 2½m Aintree novice hurdle in November. Couldn't build on that at Warwick the following month but it remains early days.

Fair hurdler. Below best when third of 4 in novice at Ffos Las (20f, soft) in November. Had a break since, however, and could be a player here.

Useful Flat winner at his best for Andrew Balding who has made the frame in both starts over timber for new yard, latest when third of 12 in novice hurdle (11/2) at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. May well do better.
