Excloosive Event Hire Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Very useful handicap hurdler at his best; regressed last season but won off a reduced mark at Newcastle (2m1f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in April, and his Irish point victory over Constitution Hill in 2021 suggests he could have a future over fences.

Has very mixed record since launching hurdling career with four consecutive wins (one at Listed level) in spring/summer 2024 but kept on for very respectable third of five on recent chasing debut at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) and can cope with today's drop back in trip.

0-8 over hurdles but held on gamely to make winning chase debut at Hexham (1m7f) last month and also ran well when second over that C&D (again on good) ten days later; up in grade here but must be considered.

Made all to cause 20-1 surprise in modest maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) for Micky Hammond in March but was sold for £5,000 after two subsequent heavy defeats (2m3f/2m5f) and is 3lb out of the weights for this stable/chase/handicap debut; drops back in trip and is fitted with first-time hood/tongue-tie; too risky.
