DragonBet Born From The Betting Ring Handicap Hurdle (Div II)

Probably did not achieve a great deal when making the frame in two small-field hurdle races this spring and needs improvement on this handicap debut; stable has much more obvious chance with Gore Point.

Dual hurdle winner; not beaten far when third of four at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month and has since completed a quick hat-trick on the Flat; must be considered in current mood.

Unexposed 5yo who returned from wind surgery to win on handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, finishing well to prevail by a nose; open to significant further progress; likely contender.

Held on gamely to win from the front at Kempton (2m, good) in April, his sixth hurdling start, and bounced back from a poor run when fourth over C&D (good) last month; can make his presence felt again.

Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted.
