Promise amidst inexperience when second in novice hurdler here on debut but well held in maidens next 2 starts. Now goes chasing ahead of handicap bow.

Left with a simple task back down in trip after 5 months off when making all over C&D 4 weeks ago but seems to be going the right way now and this looks another good opportunity.

2/1

Maiden but on a competitive mark judged on pick of last season's hurdles form and shaped encouragingly sent chasing after 5 months off when second at Market Rasen last month, no chance with winner. Capable of better.

12/1

Forecasts

Thundersockssundae (10/11), William Cody (2/1), Flann (15/2), El Diablo (12/1), Uranus Des Bordes (18/1)

THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE was left with a simple task over C&D last month but at least the performance is backed up by the clock and this looks another good opening. William Cody offered something to work with on chase bow/return at Market Rasen and is next best.
