Weatherbys Stallion Book 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Narrowly prevailed in a 5-runner bumper on debut at Market Rasen a year ago. Struggled at Warwick the following month but that was in a significantly stronger race (also wasn't helped by taking a circuitous route). Shaped as if needing run when fifth on hurdles bow at former track on return.

Getaway gelding who left debut form behind when landing an 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon. Took another step forward when 8¼ lengths seventh of 18 in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree final start. However, was a remote fourth on hurdles bow at Chepstow on return.

Easily off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in April but failed by a long chalk to justify support switched to Rules in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle. Fared a lot better when fourth at Leicester but needs to take another big step forward.

Progressive in bumpers, opening his account in 12-runner event (3/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) 9 months ago, staying on to lead post. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Poor form in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle.

€65,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pimlico Point. Dam (c143/h117), 17f-2¾m winner (including French Group 1 chase), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) Mr Mix.

£100,000 buy after finishing runner-up completed start in Irish points and readily justified favouritism in Sandown bumper. Found the Champion Bumper too much a month later but lost nothing in defeat when second at Stratford on hurdles bow/return on debut for this yard. Can go one better.

Looked a good prospect when winning both starts in bumpers, the latest at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) in January 2023, impressing with how he travelled. Looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Bangor after almost 2 years off, however, jumping badly. Best watched.

Went close in a Chepstow bumper and made a promising start over hurdles when third at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft). Not disgraced after almost a year off at Stratford 5 weeks ago but she needs to leave that well behind.
