No real impact in a trio of starts in this sphere last season and couldn't build on encouraging chase debut in 2 outings over the larger obstacles. Reverts to hurdling with something to prove.
|
Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but down the field in all 3 completed starts over hurdles. Tongue strap on first time.
|
Only one effort of note in his qualifying runs and finished well beaten in both handicap outings.
|
Found improvement when third at Wetherby in March and likely undone by steady pace when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (2m, good, 9/2) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Likely has more to offer yet.
|
Yet to score but arrives on back of creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (18/1) over similar trip at Taunton 24 days ago and can race off same mark here. Respected.
|
Winning pointer who showed first form under Rules when runner-up over C&D in March. Couldn't repeat that form at Sedgefield last month but can't be ruled out back here.
|
Showed first real form when fourth at Kempton in January. Not really built on that in handicaps since but is in good hands and has had a breathing operation since his last outing.
|
Upped in trip and posted best effort yet when good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (2½m, good) 12 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and merits consideration.
|
Little impact in a trio of bumpers and maiden hurdles. Remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.
|
Seemingly didn't take to fences at Uttoxeter in October but made the frame in a trio of handicap hurdles previously and is worth monitoring in the market on return with step back up in trip in his favour.
|
Still to get his head in front and has been expensive to follow on the back of his promising chase reappearance at Southwell in October. Returns to smaller obstacles now and others are more convincing.

Forecasts
Dream's Ka (3/1), Nevershedatear (4/1), My Fortune (6/1), Asta La Vista (7/1), Peace In The Park (8/1), Mr Mahler (8/1), Dante's Inferno (12/1), Greer Hill (12/1), Siege Of Acres (14/1), Vesalius (25/1), Vinnie O'Neil (33/1)
DREAM'S KA benefited from the step up to this sort of trip when second at Fakenham earlier this month and remains fairly treated. He can go one better here. Asta La Vista and Nevershedatear may provide the chief threat.
