Paxtons No1 CaseIH Dealer In UK&Ireland Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Unseated on handicap hurdle debut in January, then close second from the front at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) next time; soft ground/2m7f may not have suited at Fakenham since; this unexposed 5yo could have a big part to play now back on better ground.

Second in two bumpers but well beaten on handicap debut here (2m1f, good to soft) in January and tailed off when unseating two out at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) since; tongue-tie goes on; transformation needed.

Ex-Irish maiden who is yet to race beyond an extended 2m1f; however, she ran okay when 14l third here (good to soft) in January and continues to drop down the weights; stable in fine form on the Flat; not ruled out.

Very lightly raced 7yo who is one to watch in the betting on her stable debut; however, she achieved very little across her five starts in Ireland and dramatic improvement is necessary.

Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat.
