Oddschecker Free Bets Novices' Hurdle (Novices' Championship Hurdle Series Qualifier) (GBB) (Div I)

Solid on his form with Conman John over longer trips in October and opened his hurdles account in Kelso contest (2m, soft) in December; struggled in warm handicap since but holds major claims back down in class.

Superbly bred, being a half-brother to Douvan and Jonbon; not in their league but doubled his career tally with Southwell maiden success (2m, good to soft) most recently and looks likely to progress further; respected.

Made the frame twice in Irish bumpers; seemed to need the run in Plumpton maiden hurdle (2m) for new yard but needs to improve sharply on that bare form and may be one for handicaps later on.

No comments available for this runner.

Gained his bumper success at Warwick; consistent elsewhere since switched to hurdles, making the frame each time; ran particularly well at Newbury (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start; solid chance back here.
