Left previous efforts well behind when scoring at a huge price on the back of wind surgery/with a tongue tie fitted at Uttoxeter last month. Unable to match that effort upped to 23.3f 10 days later.
Prone to hanging left but did open hurdles account at Huntingdon in March. Fit from the Flat when disappointing at Southwell last month but he ought to be a big factor in a race like this. Up in trip.
Showed a bit in bumpers but has been well held all 3 starts over hurdles.
Fair maiden on Flat in France for Alain Couetil (ran 3 times, gelded after final start), stays 1½m. In very good hands ahead of this hurdles debut.
Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¾m, off 9 months, one of better efforts when third in handicap last time. Stamina won't be an issue now hurdling.
Forecasts
Balagan (11/10), Art Approval (5/2), Rhosneigr (3/1), Mr Nice Guy (16/1), The Mayne Man (100/1)
In receipt of weight from the previous winners, ART APPROVAL could be the way to go given he displayed ability in 3 Flat races in France and has joined a yard adept at readying hurdling debutants. Balagan and Rhosneigr were a shade disappointing last time but remain the obvious threats.
- ART APPROVAL (FR)
- BALAGAN
- RHOSNEIGR (IRE)
