Successful twice in July including in a C&D novice hurdle. Beaten 2L off a mark of 132 in a novices' handicap chase at Ludlow (2m4f, good) recently and is interesting off a 15lb lower mark returning to hurdles.

LARKBARROW LAD ran well to place here last time out and he is taken to make a winning handicap debut in this valuable novices contest. The selection can get the better of Pink Eyed Pedro who has placed off a much higher mark over fences in the recent past while third place can go the way of Yccs Portocervo who is likely to appreciate this step up in distance.
  1. Larkbarrow Lad
  2. Pink Eyed Pedro
  3. Yccs Portocervo
