Gran Fondo Finishes At Scone Palace Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Still looking for first success and was never involved over a longer trip on chase debut at Downpatrick when last seen in May. Returns to hurdling now.

Unable to score in 14 attempts in Ireland but posted respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) last time and is worth a second look in market on debut for new yard.

Landed 2m handicap chase for Jonjo O'Neill at Ffos Las last June but well below par since, including in 3 starts for new yard of late. Best watched at present.

Fair maiden on Flat who offered more in this sphere when third of 8 in novice at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft, 66/1) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Merits consideration on switch to handicapping.

Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when scoring over C&D in May. Back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 9/2) latest and likely to make presence felt again.

Resumed winning ways at Hexham (16.2f) in May and far from disgraced when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 12/1) last month. 1lb lower now and not discounted.

Bettered previous form when second in Market Rasen handicap hurdle (16.6f, good, 7/1) in May but failed to repeat that over same C&D last time. Others more appealing.

Modest strike rate on the Flat and winless following 16 attempts over hurdles. Continues to drop down the weights without threatening to take advantage.
