Lenny Joseph Lewis First Birthday Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

In good form over fences until his fall in March and reverts to hurdling on a workable mark, but this is his first run for three months and he'd appeal more on ground slower than good; cheekpieces (tried on last two starts) are removed.

Fair on the Flat in his prime but very lightly raced in recent years and was pulled up when 100-1 for handicap hurdle debut in February; has plenty to prove after another break.

Four AW wins on the Flat; 0-12 over hurdles but he returned to this sphere with a good second over C&D (good) last Wednesday; on unchanged mark and should go well again.

1m6f winner on the AW in October; still unexposed over hurdles and he wasn't beaten far when fourth in a Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) three weeks ago; rallied well in the closing stages of that race and has possibilities if he can build on that.

Dual Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles; got hampered at a crucial stage when a creditable second at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month but he flopped in similar conditions at Warwick 12 days later; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to bounce back after that last run.
