“Won 6 races on the level, rising from an opening handicap mark of 53 to a high of 83, looking like a dour stayer. He was placed in two of his three novice hurdles last season and benefited hugely for a winter break, as he won on his seasonal debut in May. Up 6lbs he improved again when beaten 3/4 of a length again at Uttoxeter. He picked up a small injury on his next start but resumed progress when winning up in trip at Huntingdon last time out. This doesn't look a strong race, and he can hopefully win again.”

“The first foal out of a French Group 1 winner who is a half-sister to the high-class flat and hurdle winner, Blue Dragon. She was placed in two AQPS bumpers in France and looks the type to develop into a smart novice hurdler this season. She jumps superbly and wouldn't want the ground too soft, so this autumn ground should suit her.”

“More of a summer horse but the dry ground will help with the weight.”

“By Beaumec de Houelle (Grade 1 winner over jumps) out of a dual winning Hurricane Run mare whose full sister was a 15-time winning black time mare. Another graduate from pre-training in Ireland, she won a bumper at Huntington before being placed over hurdles last season. Back from a break, she won a handicap well this spring before she was 2nd under a penalty in two novice hurdles. She won a novice hurdle under a penalty at Hexham, before a fine run when 2nd last time out back in handicap company. Not without a chance here, if she handles the step up in trip.”
