SWRSL - Dan Boulton Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Kept on for third in Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles, and has plenty of scope for further improvement in staying handicaps; no surprise if he features.

0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland and absent since two down-the-field handicap runs last April (2m3f/2m4f), but still worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut; tongue-tie added.

Bettered low-key handicap debut when keeping-on third at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; 1lb lower here and pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit; high on the list.

Placed in three of her four handicaps but was beaten about 19l when weakening third at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) in February and is not making any progress; hood left off here; stablemate Hidden Target appeals more.

Unexposed 5yo who was evidently suited by the hike up in trip when third on handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, good) three weeks ago; probably still has potential; might be the answer.
