Lynnette Reed 50th Birthday Handicap Hurdle

Dual novice hurdle winner (at around 2m) last winter who was pulled up on 2 of his 3 starts in handicaps after, quickish ground possibly against him at Fontwell in March. However, it remains pretty early days with him and bounce back possible on return.

Gained breakthrough success from 2 lb lower mark at Ffos Las (15.8f) in March. Runner-up over hurdles and on the level since but must cast aside a lesser effort at Warwick 3 weeks ago.

Poor strike rate in Ireland and was well held on first outing for new yard over fences at Chepstow in December, Off since.

Related to winners and best effort so far when fifth on handicap debut at Warwick 3 weeks ago, hindered by a couple of late mistakes. Can make presence felt.

Fairly useful in bumpers and hit the frame in a couple of novice hurdles last winter. Disappointing handicap debut in May and also found little on last month's return.

Fair maiden on the Flat and may have collected on third hurdles start had she jumped the last correctly at Ffos Las in February. Off since and yard pretty quiet but she can be a factor from this mark.

Modest maiden on Flat but going right way in handicaps over hurdles, making it 2 wins from 3 starts at Huntingdon before an excellent second from revised mark at Warwick in February. Same mark here on first outing since.

Has a bit of an all or nothing record at this admittedly early stage of his career but he was very much on a "going" day when taking a 19f handicap at Fontwell back in March. Off since and market best guide.

Often prominent in the betting but no better than modest form in 5 starts. Looks in need of further help from the assessor.
