Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat. Fair form in trio of juvenile hurdles in Ireland and made a successful start for this yard in a Catterick juvenile (15.7f) last month, but this is more demanding.
|
Made the frame all 3 starts in maidens at up to 13f on Flat in France in 2021. Subsequently sold for €56,000 and very much of interest on hurdles debut having joined the Paul Nicholls yard.
|
Fairly useful on the Flat, winner of 1½m Newmarket handicap for the Gosdens when last seen 7 months ago. Sold for 65,000 gns and one to note in the betting on hurdles/yard debut. Cheekpieces added.
|
No show sole start on the Flat and didn't fare any better on hurdles debut in the C&D race won by Collingham. Tongue strap enlisted.
|
Dual AW winner during the autumn and signs of ability in both starts over hurdles, albeit she was a long way adrift of Collingham here last month.

Forecasts
Individualiste (7/4), Collingham (85/40), Inca Prince (5/2), Meritorious (15/2), Oot Ma Way (50/1), Push For Sixty (250/1)
Hurdling debutants MERITORIOUS and Individualiste are appealing alternatives to likely favourite Collingham. Paul Nicholls has already unleashed several promising young hurdlers this season and his representative Individualiste is of obvious interest. However, there's more quantifiable substance to Meritorious' Flat form and he gets the nod for an Irish yard whose raiders always command respect.
- MERITORIOUS
- INDIVIDUALISTE (FR)
- COLLINGHAM (GER)
