LSL Racing Horse Sales - Syndication - Leasing Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Dual bumper winner last term, including here, and looked good when winning first 2 starts in this sphere during the winter before chasing home subsequent Supreme Novices hero Old Park Star in a Haydock Grade 2. By no means disgraced at the Cheltenham Festival last time and he's the one to beat.

Off the mark at third attempt in points and bright start under Rules when overcoming both inexperience and traffic problems to land a useful-looking Warwick novice last month. Booking of Harry Cobden suggests that connections mean business and this 5-y-o is clearly a nice prospect.

Made frame both starts in Irish points last spring but well held in 2 runs over hurdles so far and it's likely that he'll need more time and distance.

Modest third in a Lingfield bumper in December and subsequent efforts in maiden hurdles have not been at all inspiring.

£40,000 purchase after finishing second in an Irish point last February but he has offered precious little in a handful of appearances over hurdles. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Seemingly perked up by addition of blinkers when fourth in a 14-runner Exeter maiden hurdle recently, which represented a significant step forward from his very low-key debut in this sphere in January. However, another sizeable jolt of improvement will be needed if he's to take this.

Well beaten on Rules debut in a Hereford maiden hurdle prior to unseating at the same course last week. Like stablemate Below The Belt, she is hard to fancy.

Third in an Irish point in January but tailed off starting out over hurdles here recently.

Fair staying handicapper on the Flat, winning 3 times last year. Sold from George Boughey 20,000 gns in October and went with no encouragement with a tongue strap retained for his hurdling debut at Stratford.

Fair form in 4 starts on the Flat for Kevin Philippart De Foy but didn't show much when tackling hurdles for the first time at Newbury.

Well held in novice on the Flat for Charlie Appleby last spring and shaped with little promise in 2 outings over hurdles for Chris Down in November. Joined new yard since and is best watched.
