More Radio Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Shaped promisingly when ridden with more restraint and finishing runner-up back at a similar trip at Southwell last month; more exposed than most but sets the standard with a mark of 110 and a leading contender with no ground concerns.

Runner-up on sole start in a point (2m5f, good) last March; showed some promise on rules/stable debut in an October bumper, but pulled up switched to hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in January, reportedly hanging right, still early days for respected connections.

No comments available for this runner.

Well-related Malinas gelding who has shown promise in a point and over hurdles; bled from the nose when finishing a well-held fifth at Lingfield in November but an earlier Stratford third (2m, good to soft) reads well; worth considering with the longer trip expected to suit.

Placed in an Irish point; dead-heated for second on bumper debut at Fontwell (good to soft) on Boxing Day, but well held on both hurdle starts on heavy since, latest when a 37l third there last month; takes another step up in trip and less testing ground may help.
