JCB Tele-Handler "Junior" National Hunt Flat Race (GBB Race)

Made winning start at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January when with Adrian Keatley; weak in the market and well beaten on stable debut at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but was carried badly right by Order Driven at the first bend; not written off today.

Second foal; dam unraced half-sister to three useful winners notably Stellar Notion (bumper and 2m-2m7f hurdle/chase); in-form trainer can ready one first time and he could have a part to play on debut.

Backed into 17-2 when fifth of 14 on last month's debut at Kempton (2m, good to soft); he was soundly beaten and improvement is necessary but he has an attractive Flat pedigree and may be able to take a step forward.

Promising fourth of 16 on debut in Listed bumper at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in January before 9l second to well-bred newcomer at Doncaster (2m, soft); holds leading form claims today.

First foal; dam unplaced bumpers/hurdles, half-sister to two fairly useful winners, out of 2m chase winner; watching brief advised on debut.
