Bangor-On-Dee Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Irish point recruit who built on the promise of his hurdling debut at second attempt when running out an impressive winner of a 15-runner novice at Kempton (21f, soft) in February. Let down by his jumping in a Haydock Grade 2 since but remains open to progress back in calmer waters.

Has made up into a fairly useful hurdler this winter, getting back on the up in no uncertain terms tackling 3m trip for the first time when successful in mares' listed event at Doncaster (soft) in February. Ran poorly in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham but this is much more realistic.

Runner-up sole start in an Irish point last spring. Promise when fourth in a Carlisle bumper and 2m Ayr maiden hurdle on first 2 starts for Donald McCain but ran poorly back at Carlisle (19f) since. Goes up in trip again.

Irish point winner. Much better effort over hurdles a whopping 29 months apart when third of 10 at Carlisle (19f, good) a fortnight ago. Entitled to come on for that but likely more one for handicaps.

Irish bumper winner. Left a low-key hurdle/stable debut well behind when easily winning 23f Exeter mares' novice in November but beaten a long way on both outings since, albeit out of her depth in Doncaster Grade 2 last time.
