Point winner (3m, good to yielding) who was unplaced in both bumpers but made winning hurdle debut when odds-on at Clonmel (2m4f, good); open to further improvement for respected Irish yard; strong claims under penalty.
Won a bumper at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June on second start; tailed off at 40-1 on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft) but that was a much warmer race than this and he's had a wind op since; not ruled out
Well backed into 3-1 when promising third on debut in bumper at Perth (2m, good to soft) in April and that form reads well; his useful half-brother Sheldon won at up to 2m5f and he's open to improvement now up in trip on this first hurdle start; he's one to consider.
Runner-up on debut in bumper at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in September and kept on for 3l third of four at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) subsequently, when shaping as though he would benefit from this longer trip; possible player now up in trip on hurdle debut.
Runner-up in sole British point (3m, good to firm) and filled the same position on bumper debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) before making all there (2m1f, soft) last month; he did it nicely in a small field and will have a part to play if transferring that promise to hurdles at the first attempt.
Improved for March's debut fifth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) when third there (2m1f, good) in September; in good hands to progress and her useful dam won at up to 2m4f; interesting contender now up in trip on hurdle debut.
