Marsh Commercial Insurance Novices' Claiming Hurdle

Gradually progressive when placed in all three bumpers but only third of three to a hotpot here (2m5f, good) on his hurdling debut in November; drops down in trip and this is very winnable, with that last run still setting the standard.

Placed in a bumper at Down Royal and second of four on stable debut here (good to firm) in October; only 100-30 but pulled hard before finishing last, beaten 58l, at Wincanton one month later; makes her hurdle debut at a very modest level.

0-10 over hurdles but he's shown flashes of form; beaten a long way in two modest handicaps since October, however.

Exposed as modest and two starts for this yard resulted in heavy defeats in basement handicaps last month; would be a first rules winner for trainer Alexander Gibbons.

Bit of a handful when 125-1 and unseating at the first on her debut last month; 200-1 when pulled up in a hood (discarded) at Windsor (2m, good to soft) a fortnight later; still early days but she's not easy to recommend, even in this company.
