Modest maiden hurdler but already a better chaser, off the mark at the second attempt at Plumpton last month. Likely to be competitive again.

Best effort over hurdles when close second at Plumpton (2m) in January. Below that level next 3 starts, however, including on chase debut latest.

3/1
Scored over hurdles at Huntingdon in March and he was quick to make his mark in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Market Rasen (17f) last month, jumping well from the front and always holding on. Can make another bold bid.

Won 3 times over hurdles in 2024/25. Struggled for form last season but back on track sent chasing when second at Wincanton 23 days ago. Needs to build on that.

9/2
Maiden over hurdles but confirmed chase debut promise when easily winning C&D handicap in November. Disappointed over longer trip following month but worth another chance back from a break and returned to 2m.

11/2
Recorded back-to-back wins over hurdles in spring 2024 and stopped the slide on just his third outing for the yard when second at Taunton 2 weeks ago, albeit flattered by proximity to a thriving novice. Makes chase debut.

Scored at Stratford off similar mark last spring but arrives on the back of 4 poor efforts, including back from 3 months off at Taunton 6 weeks ago. Headgear on.

Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper/2 maiden hurdles for Harry Derham in summer 2024. However, hasn't fired sent chasing for this yard. Change of headgear.

Long-standing maiden but has taken well to chasing set against her low standards, placed at Taunton and Exeter in recent months. Did too much back over hurdles last time.

Forecasts

Away For The Night (11/4), Kally Des Bruyeres (3/1), Danny's Friend (9/2), Mi Sueno (11/2), Daany (7/1), Prairie Queen (9/1), O'Grady's Hill (16/1), Fox Wallace (28/1), Kill The Groove (33/1)

Verdict

KALLY DES BRUYERES left his chasing debut form behind when landing a gamble under this rider at Market Rasen and can make another bold bid from the front. The trip was too far for Danny's Friend last time and he's well worth another chance having scored over C&D in good style the time before. Away For The Night has made a bright start over fences and is the pick of the rest.
