In good form over hurdles this winter, scoring at Naas 6 weeks ago. Did well in this sphere last season so is an interesting runner back over fences.

5/1
A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on a promising chase debut when landing a 4-runner contest at Carlisle. Runner-up all 3 starts since, chasing home a well-treated sort over extended 23f at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Back on track fitted with headgear/tongue tie when scoring at Haydock and backed that up with good seconds there and Kelso. Likely to go well again.

Losing run is mounting up but easy to excuse latest run from out of the handicap. Not beaten far at Leopardstown the time before so not impossible.

9/2
Successful 3 times over C&D last season, including this corresponding race. Failed to complete first 2 starts this autumn but back on track when placed the last twice, beaten only by a bright prospect over C&D latest. Needs considering.

Forecasts

Cave Court (15/8), Ned Tanner (5/2), Artic Row (9/2), Dare To Shout (5/1), Mr Saxobeat (9/1)

16:00 Ayr - 8 March 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CAVE COURT has thrived over hurdles this winter and can continue the good work back over fences (at least as good in this sphere). Arctic Row has an excellent record around here and is feared most ahead of the in-form Ned Tanner.
