1/1

Grade 2 winner as a novice over hurdles. Didn't convince in 2 starts over fences initially last term and having got back on track when second over hurdles at Huntingdon in January, he failed to build on that in trio of starts thereafter. Still, probably too soon to be writing him off in this sphere.

5/6

Boasts a good strike rate over hurdles, readily adding to his tally at Huntingdon (25f) in October. Gradually warmed to his task when just touched off on chase debut in a similarly small-field C&D affair when last seen in the autumn and lead claims here.

Form: 14/1812-

Forecasts

Ballintubber Boy (5/6), Shanagh Bob (1/1)

A disappointing turnout for the opener with the returning BALLINTUBBER BOY selected to come out on top having gone very close on his respective C&D chase debut when last seen in the autumn.
