Molson Coors Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Didn't offer much in bumpers and pulled up both hurdle starts. Tongue strap goes on.

Chased home now-useful Wellington Arch in a maiden here in March 2025, though looked a typically hard ride when running out on his return at Hereford last month. Capable but isn't one for maximum faith.

€35,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Publican. Newcomer hails from a useful yard and is worth noting for support.

Hinted at ability on bumper debut but has made a discouraging start over hurdles.

Finished behind a pair of subsequent improvers on bumper debut but couldn't advance his form when fifth of 8 in a similar event here last time. Yard has had success with this family, though, and the market should guide on hurdles bow.

Fair 1¼m Flat winner who showed an aptitude for hurdling when (125/1) fourth of 8 on stable debut at Huntingdon in early-March, though he'll have a more realistic chance in handicaps.

Progressive middle-distance performer on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh who was said to have a breathing problem when well held on hurdle debut in a listed juvenile at Aintree in December. Cheekpieces now added on the back of a breathing operation and worth another chance down markedly in grade.

Limited on the Flat and only showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when sixth of 8 in a Huntingdon novice last time.

Poor maiden handicapper on the Flat and has shown nothing in either start over hurdles for new yard.

Poor in bumpers and was probably flattered to finish as close as she did when trailing the field on hurdles bow over C&D after a long absence.
