Adept GRP Cabinets Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race) (Div II)

Hung left and weakened in bumpers at Exeter and Taunton, in a first-time hood on the latter occasion; highly unlikely to see the best of this half-brother to a 2m7f hurdle winner until further down the line.

Runner-up on debut in a steadily run Doncaster bumper (2m, good; favourite) and that form has been well advertised since; has every chance of going one better.

175,000euros 3yo; sixth foal; half-brother to two French winners, notably Gage De Reussite (2m2f-2m4f hurdle/chase); dam French 1m2f-1m7f Flat/2m-2m5f hurdle (Listed) winner; interesting newcomer for yard that's 26% (79-303) in bumpers in the last five years.

Placed in an Irish point (3m, yielding; winner has since won a Cork maiden hurdle) last March; sold for £40,000 the following month; dam unraced half-sister to two winners, including bumper scorer Now Is The Winter; likely to find a few sharper on rules and stable debut.

£35,000 3yo; half-brother to four winners; short of room and shuffled back, before rallying to finish a creditable fourth of 13 on Chepstow debut (2m; 33-1) in November; it's feasible that he can build on that.
