Placed in a bumper on debut and showed much more under a positive ride second time up over hurdles, finishing modest fourth of 18 (125/1) at Wincanton in December. At least worth a try over this longer trip on return.
|
Third on sole start in points and left behind his hurdling debut form in spite of the shorter trip when third in Wincanton novice (1m7f) last time. This distance will suit better and he remains open to improvement.
|
Doctor Dino gelding has hinted at ability on bumper/hurdle debut but probably needs more time.
|
Getaway gelding. Half-brother to high-class hurdler/chaser Yorkhill (winner up to 23f). Keen-going sort is steadily progressing and would have done even better barring a late blunder when second at Exeter last time. Needs considering for top yard.
|
Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and having been strong in the betting, offered something to work with when third on hurdles bow at Fontwell (no extra approaching last). Should improve over the slightly longer trip.
|
€120,000 half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Jpr One didn't last out on bumper debut at Exeter in December but could easily do better now sent hurdling by top yard and warrants a market check.
|
Fairly useful French bumper winner was a faller on hurdle/stable debut following 22 months off but showed promise when runner-up in Exeter maiden last time. The winner has since let down the form, but this lightly-raced 5-y-o remains with potential.
|
Standout effort when second in Market Rasen bumper in 2024 and hardly a positive that he's already on his third yard, returning in first-time hood following an underwhelming hurdle debut for Michael Blake in March last year.
|
Has shown nothing in pair of maiden hurdles at Exeter.
|
Point winner finished well held fourth at Chepstow latest and looks one for handicaps.
|
Goes hurdling having offered little in a pair of bumpers.

Dutch Corner (6/4), Limier D'arthel (13/8), Hardly Surprising (9/4), Dante's Rocco (9/2), Jpr Two (11/1), Ask A Sainte (12/1), Handmedownastar (14/1), Docteur Romeo (66/1), Poet's Muse (66/1), Warfleet (100/1), Mrs Pen (150/1), Saffron Belle (200/1)
HARDLY SURPRISING's form in maidens is proving solid and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark under Rules, while Dutch Corner isn't the easiest ride but certainly has the ability to go close.
