Bumper winner who left his hurdles debut form behind when excellent third of 14 in novice at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 30 days ago. May have more to offer yet.

Cityscape gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Old Town Garde. Market likely best guide to claims on NH debut.

Promising individual who found some improvement when creditable sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Best effort on level for Karl Burke at Doncaster in July but proved disappointing under both codes for new connections.

Made winning start in bumpers for Milton Harris in October 2023. Not seen since, however, and needs monitoring in market on hurdles bow for new yard here.

25/1
Promising individual who posted good third on Chepstow bumper debut in October. Below that level when sixth of 13 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 11/2) on hurdles bow 22 days ago but likely has more to offer in this sphere yet.

Made the frame on last 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't troubled the judge in a couple of starts over timber. Likely one for handicaps down the line.

Some encouragement in a bumper/novice hurdle but is another who is likely to need more time and a longer trip.

Useful in bumpers, winning at Wincanton before fourth in Listed/Grade 2 events. Looked booked for a place when falling at last on Chepstow hurdle debut last month and remains with potential.

Fair maiden on the Flat. Disappointed at Newbury when last seen in October but warrants respect on first crack at this discipline.

Well held in 2 bumpers and both novice hurdles. Will be seen in better light when sent handicapping.

Finished last home in both bumper outings for Mike Hawker and is hard to recommend on hurdles bow for new yard after another absence.

14:00 Wincanton - 16 December 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Preference is for SWINGIN SAFARI, who boasted useful bumper form and should have learnt plenty from his Chepstow hurdles debut last month. Bespoke Tailor and Constellation Walk are feared most.
