Every Race Live On Racing TV Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Well-made sort who displayed race-by-race progress in bumpers, staying on gradually when third in a 14-runner contest at Huntingdon (15.8f). Disappointing effort on hurdles debut over C&D 3 weeks ago but he's surely better than that.

Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Couleur France. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and fair start to Rules career when third in a Chepstow bumper in October. Also showed ability both hurdles starts, latterly when second over C&D and he's capable of better.

Displayed some ability only start in bumpers and showed benefit of hurdles debut effort when fourth of 7 in a Ludlow maiden (23.8f) in February. Turned over when a short price over C&D last time and visor now on.

Improved when winning Doncaster bumper last February for Ben Pauling. Switched yards and after shaping better than the result on hurdles debut (had a breathing op after) he fell when in second at Huntingdon last month. Should be a factor.

Bred for stamina and shaped that way in bumpers, driven out to score at Hereford in November. Sixth in a better race at Ascot and he needs considering now hurdling up in trip.

Modest in bumpers for Tom Weston and was noted finishing with running left when third of 9 in a Huntingdon maiden (2m) in January. Never involved at Doncaster switched to a handicap.

Fully exposed now and remains vulnerable in any company.

ack Hobbs gelding who is bred to be a useful jumper but looks one for the longer term on evidence of both runs last month.
