Racing To School Reaches 25 Years Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Still a maiden after 10 hurdle starts but is fairly useful. Looked to be going well in the lead when falling 3 out at Sedgefield (17f) on Boxing Day. Given a bit of time since. Leading form claims if stamina holds up in trip (unproven beyond an extended 21f) in refitted cheekpieces.

£33,000 Irish point winner. Last seen in that sphere a year ago so it's taken a bit of time for new connections to get him to the track but Sean Bowen is a good booking.

Better effort in maiden hurdles when just under 15 lengths fourth of 7 over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Will need to take another step forward if he's to go close here.

12/1, weakened to finish sixth of 8 in a 2m course bumper on debut 18 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip quickly switched to hurdles.

£85,000 purchase from the Irish pointing field. Much better effort over hurdles (trained by Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies on debut) when third of 8 in 20.5f Market Rasen maiden 18 days ago, no extra only close home despite not being fluent with his jumping. Open to improvement.

No more than hinted at ability in a pair of Huntingdon bumpers for Shaun Lycett last autumn. Left that yard after finishing tailed off in an AW Flat maiden in December. New stable steps him up markedly in trip for hurdle debut.

Landed odds of 4/5 in a 3m Larkhill maiden point at the beginning of March. Interesting hurdle newcomer, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
