DragonBet Good Luck In The National Handicap Hurdle

All-the-way hurdles winner at Leicester and Ludlow last winter but hasn't fired yet this season. Stable is going quite well and handicapper has given him a chance.

Free-going sort who isn't an easy ride but recorded win number 2 in a first-time hood at Sedgefield in February. Creditable second at Ludlow and could be hard to peg back if he gets clear on the front end.

Won first 2 starts this term and not disgraced in defeat since, fourth at Newbury on latest outing. Likely to give another good account.

Fair winning hurdler/chaser for David Cottin in France in 2020. Absent for 892 days ahead of tame debut for new stable at Newcastle a month ago and has plenty to prove.

Struck at second time of asking for new stable in 2m Wetherby maiden in January. That form has worked out reasonably well and he comfortably followed up at Market Rasen 25 days ago. Progressive sort who makes plenty of appeal.

Promise when runner-up on debut and has completed a hat-trick since, having something to spare when scoring at Sandown last month. Yard is going well and he's open to further improvement, so leading claims.

Winning hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland but, having changed hands for £18,000 in October, he hasn't shown much spark for present connections.

Better than ever over hurdles this season, winning twice, and looked rusty back from 4 months off at Ffos Las in October. Might well bounce back but he's high enough in the weights.
