St Michael's Church Orchard Portman Open Maiden National Hunt Flat Race (Cat 3 Elimination) (GBB)

Second foal; dam unplaced 6f-1m4f; unplaced in three points; stable 0-4 in bumpers over the last five years; rules debut and best to look elsewhere.

Beaten 23l and 30l on his two runs in bumpers and likely to need a trip when he goes hurdling.

24,000euros 3yo; seventh foal; brother to winners Hit The Frame (3m1f chase) and Hard Stare (point), half-brother to useful 2m2f hurdle winner Cleatus Poolaw; dam 2m3f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner; second in a maiden point for Bradley Gibbs last month; makes stable debut and should do better when he goes hurdling over further.

Beaten 69l on debut in bumper at Hereford (2m, good) last month and looks likely to need more time.

88,000euros 3yo; third foal; half-brother to point/useful bumper winner Bud Fox; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner, sister to hurdle winners Our Roxane (2m) and Masked Phantom (2m4f), out of maiden half-sister to useful 2m-3m2f chase winner Song Sung Blue; yard is racking up the winners recently and must be taken seriously on this debut.
