Could well be on the cusp temperament wise (looks increasingly hard work), but is going through a good spell over hurdles, winning twice at Uttoxeter in recent weeks. Unpenalised in hat-trick bid.
|
Looking temperamental but returned to form when second of 5 in 3m Southwell handicap chase 3 weeks ago. Same mark over hurdles here but needs more to come out on top.
|
Well backed and ran easily his best race when second of 11 in Carlisle handicap hurdle last month, never far away and jumping well. Should be winning soon.
|
Opened his account in good style in 23.7f Newcastle handicap hurdle in January 2020. Held next time though and not seen subsequently. Cheekpieces reached for on first run for 21 months.
|
Dual hurdles winner at Newcastle but his jumping has rather let him down of late, falling at the last at Sedgefield when he may have been placed, and held here last time after a bad mistake 3 out.
|
Useful at his peak for Willie Mullins, but it's been a while since he last made an impact. Rare go over hurdles and was rated in the 140s over them in Ireland.
|
On a roll and again looked to have masses in hand as he followed up his Huntingdon victory in good style under this rider at Hereford on Saturday. All stamina and the hat-trick beckons.
|
Three-time winner for Enda Bolger in Ireland, but like his stablemate Blazer, has offered little over fences in recent months.

Vee Dancer (1/3), Quick Draw (4/1), Fevertre (6/1), Kiss My Face (16/1), Teescomponentstrig (20/1), Kauto D'Amour (28/1), Accordingtogino (28/1), Blazer (80/1), Thatbeatsbanagher (150/1)
A race that revolves around VEE DANCER and the Irish challenger should get the hat-trick up. He came clear with plenty in hand at Hereford on Saturday, relishing the longer trip, and can carry on improving for a good while yet. Quick Draw is on a hat-trick himself but is probably nowhere near as well-handicapped as the selection and is rather hard work. Fevertre is an interesting alternative.
