pricedup.bet Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Showed promise in two bumpers in spring 2024; well held in three hurdle runs this year but he made some late headway when third at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 24 days ago; that was an encouraging effort and has possibilities if he can build on that on handicap debut

Made the frame in two spring bumpers; subsequent hurdle form has been underwhelming but it's still early days in this sphere and he's a possible improver now upped in trip on handicap debut; needs a close look for top yard.

Failed to complete in his first two starts this season but he fared markedly better with 28-1 win at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft; hood added) last month; up 5lb for that narrow success but he showed a good attitude and should have more to offer in headgear; respected.

Eight-race maiden; runner-up on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in February but she's not gone on from that and was never involved at Chepstow (fifth of 12) last month; now goes back up in trip but she needs to get back near best.

Won on Irish point debut in May 2024 but returned from layoff with three low-key hurdle runs (2m4f-2m7f) this autumn/winter; still unexposed and is a brother to a useful jumper but he needs a transformation on handicap debut.
