RJS Waste Management UK Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Won on the Flat in France a year ago and made promising stable/hurdle debut against own age-group at Kempton (2m, good) in October; ended 2024 with two lesser efforts and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he moves up in trip for this handicap debut and remains unexposed.

Placed in 2m Southwell maiden (good to soft) in February and also shaped with promise when sixth over that trip on handicap debut at Ffos Las (good) last month; upped in trip today; should still have a bigger run in him.

Three Flat wins for new yard this year and lost out only by a head over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last week; competes off same mark here and may still have untapped potential over the longer trip; good chance.

Safely held in two slow-ground handicaps (both 1m7f) for Simon Earle last year and makes stable debut after a six-month absence but improvement is possible if this new trip-and-ground combination suits.

Returned from long absence with three heavy defeats last season (2m3f-3m) and is now 0-9 over hurdles; might benefit from today's return to good ground and is worth a glance in the betting but has quite a bit to prove; hood removed.
