European Breeders' Fund Betfair "National Hunt" Novices' Handicap Hurdle Final (Premier Hcap) (GBB)

Point/bumper winner who made it 2-2 over hurdles when beating subsequent Dovecote winner Klub De Reve under a penalty at Exeter (2m, good to soft); however, he was turned over at odds-on at Leicester later in December and needs to bounce back.

Best effort when defying a penalty at Doncaster (2m3f, good; beat Draco Malfoy by 2l) in December, but disappointing in a Grade 2 there six weeks ago; others may have more potential.

Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list.

Hereford win (2m3f, good to soft) worked out well and he might have followed up at Ascot (2m5f, soft) with a more fluent round of jumping; still unexposed and not ruled out.

Irish point winner with a progressive profile over hurdles; readily pulled 20l clear of The Boss Bear at Fakenham (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; this is more competitive but he still has untapped potential.
