bet365 Handicap Hurdle (Go North Brindisi Breeze Series Qualifier)

Out of form for Henry Daly last season but took a step back in the right direction at the second time of asking for the James Owen stable when second of seven at Southwell (extended 3m1f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; this prolific yard will likely get a win out of him before long.

Better than ever when making a winning reappearance after wind surgery at Exeter (2m7f, good; has won on heavy) five weeks ago; well on top in the closing stages and a 9lb rise may not stop him if in a similar mood.

No comments available for this runner.

Won three in a row in April-June and back on the up with a 3m1f Catterick success three weeks ago; all those wins were gained on good ground so today's likely softer surface is an unknown but probably capable of better again for a stable which continues in good form.

Third on hurdle debut in Ireland in May before making a winning start for Neil King in 2m4f Fakenham maiden (good) five months later; well beaten under a penalty at Kempton (2m5f) since but stands more chance in handicaps; up in trip.
