Safer Gambling At CopyBet Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Made a promising start when runner-up in a Lingfield bumper (for Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies) in January and built on it on his yard/hurdling debut when going one better in 2m Catterick maiden 12 days ago; still looked inexperienced there and he's a leading contender.

Point scorer who posted a fairly useful effort when getting off the mark in this sphere at Kelso (2m) in December; failed to kick on when a well-held third of 11 in 2m novice there last month but he's worth another chance for yard with an excellent record in this.

Offered little in a pair of bumpers and it's been a similar story in 2m novice hurdles at Newcastle and Kelso this year; significantly more is required from this son of Elusive Pimpernel.

Shaped well when runner-up in a Musselburgh bumper in December but went too freely when pulled up on his hurdling debut in 2m3f novice here 20 days ago; needs to become more tractable.

A useful 1m4f French Flat winner in 2024 for Andre Fabre; 22-1, made a promising start over hurdles after 19 months off when third of 11 in 2m Musselburgh novice three weeks ago; should strip sharper now and a likely player.
