dragonbet.co.uk Born From The Betting Ring Seniors' Handicap Hurdle

Defied a 7lb rise for his Newbury win with some comfort here in February as he would have won more easily without late mistakes; however, now has to deal with another 9lb (Harriet Tucker has also claimed in his last three races); this asks quite a question of him.

Won this back from a break 12 months ago when 10lb lower and followed up in a valuable handicap in Ireland; struggled afterwards but this could be the time to latch back onto him.

Completed a hat-trick in a 2m good-ground handicap at Aintree in June (2lb lower) but was turned over at odds-on back in a novice next time and has twice performed miserably on the Flat since; something to prove now.

Tackled some strong handicaps after winning at Ascot last December and appreciated the drop back into a Class 3 when a game winner off 4lb lower at Cheltenham in April (2m1f, good); handicapped to go well if resuming in similar form.

He was making nice progress when last seen in early 2024, wining a C&D heavy-ground handicap as he liked; returns off 5lb higher but with obvious fitness concerns; has also won on good to soft.
