Prince Albert Brighton Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Beat only other finisher sole start in points (Mar 2024) and tuck to his task pretty well when second of 8 in bumper at Carlisle on Rules bow. Disappointed at Warwick since but not taken lightly on hurdles bow.

Fair third on his better bumper run last season but has been well held both starts over hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps after this run.

Runner-up only outing in Irish points (Jan 2024) but well held in Warwick bumper last month.

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and shaped like a stayer when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Plumpton last month, rallying gradually after outpaced before straight (also lost a shoe). Likely to have run to a similar level had he not been brought down at Ascot and is the clear pick on form

Milan gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Dam (h85) point winner/lightly raced over hurdles. Showed a bit when mid-field in Southwell bumper 6 weeks ago so warrants some respect now switched to hurdling.

Brother to fair hurdler Sheer Bravado (17f winner). Smart on Flat and shaped as if needing the run sent hurdling when fifth of 14 at Huntingdon after 6 months off. Will improve and needs considering.
