Safer Gambling At CopyBet Handicap Hurdle

Ex-Irish 6yo who justified skinny odds with minimal fuss in Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in August; beaten the thick end of 50l on handicap debut in valuable event over 2m4f back there the following month; off since and drops back in trip with drying ground probably in his favour.

Wide-margin win in Leicester maiden (heavy) in December was a good start for this yard and followed that with solid third behind a useful sort here (also about 2m, good) three weeks later; set to post a lesser effort when unseating over further next time but it was a step back in the right direction when third in heavy-ground 2m Sandown novice in January; the experiment over further looks worth another go and he's a player on handicap debut.

Soft-ground 2m4f British point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark on third hurdle start when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, also good to soft) seven weeks ago; up in trip and carries plenty of potential into this handicap debut.

Two French hurdle wins in 2024; yet to add to that in ten starts in Britain but he's been set some stiff tasks and drops back down in grade from a falling mark; not ruled out.

Won four of his first five for Olly Murphy (including a handicap off 8lb higher) but he's yet to get going for this yard and was pulled up on his last two starts, latterly when 200-1 at Southwell one month ago.
