  • Distance: 2m 7f 131y
  • Age: 4yo
  • Runners: 9
  • Prize: £8,200
Lady Dulverton silk
No. 5

Point/debut bumper winner who probably underachieved over hurdles and produced a rather laboured effort despite plugging on into second at Hereford on handicap/chase bow on return. Back over hurdles but suspicion remains he could do better with headgear now applied.

Fair in bumpers and promising start over hurdles when fifth in 15-runner Chepstow maiden (19.5f) over Christmas and duly built on that when second at Wetherby. More needed again, however.

Performed with credit both outings in France and made an encouraging start for his new connections when second in a 2½m Ffos Las maiden hurdle on return. Well held at Hereford next time, however.

Winner of sole start between the flags and while he didn't show much starting out under Rules in an Irish bumper last spring, there were certainly positives to glean from his placed efforts over hurdles at Ffos Las/Exeter.

Winning pointer who was fair in bumpers and stepped up on hurdles debut effort when fourth of 13 in a Cheltenham maiden hurdle (20.2f, good to soft) on New Year's Day. Let down by jumping next time, though, and needs to improve.

Comfortably won sole start in Irish points in April and shaped with promise when fifth of 14 on his Chepstow hurdling debut (19.4f) in October. Unable to build on that at Wincanton 4 months later but remains with potential.

Bred to stay well and left debut form well behind when third in Chepstow novice. Poor efforts since, though, including on handicap debut last time when tongue tied.
