Happy New Year From Ayr Racecourse Maiden Hurdle (Go North Night Nurse Hurdle Series Qualifier)(GBB)

Convincing win on debut in bumper here (2m, heavy) in February and he shaped as though he would improve for the run when third at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in November on his first hurdle start; not ruled out.

He's improved since finishing fifth in this last year, filling second in two novice hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f/2m3f, soft); however, another place is probably the best outcome to hope for.

3m point winner for this trainer in March 2022 and showed considerable ability for Willie Mullins in bumpers in early 2024 (soft to heavy); absent since but he's a major player on this hurdle debut if retaining his old ability; trainer won this last year; a hood goes on; watch the market.

Promising fourth in bumper here (2m, soft) last January on second start but unable to threaten on his two hurdle starts (2m/2m3f, soft).

Showed promise in bumpers here (2m, good to soft/soft) and he took a step forward on his second hurdle start when going close at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) last month; could be thereabouts once more.
