Brett Martin Handicap Hurdle (Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Qualifier)

Promising novice hurdler but no sign of that form since returning from an absence; had wind surgery and a tongue-tie is added, but very risky.

Unbeaten in France, winning over hurdles (good) and two chases (good/very soft), from 2m1f to 2m3f; a difficult one to assess and the market could be informative.

Juvenile hurdle winner for Emma Lavelle and had a wind op after his successful debut for this yard; hadn't been asked too many questions when falling at Cheltenham (race won by Supreme favourite Old Park Star) and he then won his novice quite nicely at Ludlow; brings potential into handicaps and plenty of it.

Kicked off the season with handicap wins at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft); has looked in the grip of the handicapper since but this is a drop in grade, so certainly not dismissed.

Absent since late November but was in a good run of form back then, finishing close up in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham before again placed in a Listed race for mares; beaten off lower marks in her previous handicaps but looks a better horse now.
