Golf Membership On Sale Now Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Looked quite promising when fifth in an Exeter novice (2m, good to soft) on seasonal debut in November but has gone the wrong way since; might be aided by new tongue-tie here but has questions to answer.

Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); absent since below-par run in the autumn but can play a significant role if fully tuned up.

Well beaten on handicap debut in January but last month's keeping-on third at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) was much better and further progress is possible if the much faster ground here suits.

Fair Flat racer who showed some hurdling promise on good ground towards the end of last year; well beaten in both subsequent handicaps (good to soft/heavy) but may well fare better now back on a sound surface.

Twice well beaten (1m7f/2m3f) since his fairly encouraging hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in the autumn but has been given a wind op before this handicap debut and remains open to improvement.
