Modest hurdler who shaped best when second in 4-runner seller at Leicester (15.5f) 11 days ago, collared near finish having drifted far side late on. More needed in a better seller here, though.

Well held in bumpers/over hurdles (breathing problem last time). Easy to look elsewhere.

Modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland. Hurdles efforts for this yard not devoid of promise but no real reason to think he's any better than that.

11/8
Right back on song when third of 12 in a handicap at Newton Abbot in April. Pulled up at Exeter on return, though reportedly suffered a breathing issue, so worth another chance down in grade.

First hurdles win dropped to a seller at Plumpton (15.9f) 24 days ago. This requires more.

12:30 Taunton - 9 December 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

PELORIC strikes as the most likely winner dropping in grade. He posted a good third at Newton Abbot on his final outing last season and can have his Exeter reappearance effort easily overlooked having reportedly suffered a breathing issue. Hereia left Neil Mulholland cheaply in November, but his previous form entitles him to respect at this level.

  1. PELORIC
  2. HEREIA (IRE)
  3. COLONEL LESLEY (IRE)
