QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle

Came good at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2m Fakenham maiden in March. Brings obvious unexposed potential to this handicap debut for a leading yard.

Second in 2m Southwell handicap hurdle off this mark in June and went one better on the Flat later that month. Sound return to hurdling when third of 11 at Sedgefield (17f) 17 days ago. Return to slightly short trip a help if anything. Has refitted cheekpieces and hood combined first time. Player.

Improver over hurdles last season, ending his campaign with a pair of handicap wins over 19.5f at Huntingdon. Just as effective over shorter. Claims if fully primed after 6 months off.

Figures on a good mark judged on the pick of his 2023 form for Hughie Morrison but showed nothing on his recent comeback run for a new yard after 23 months off.

Modest maiden who has had a few chances in handicaps now but it is possible he needed a recent Worcester outing after 4 months off.

Back to form in recent starts, finishing second over C&D before a win and third at Fontwell. Ought to be competitive again.

Maiden hurdler who hasn't been seen for 22 months but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and good stable perseveres. Tongue tied first time. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.
