Carlsberg Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

A fairly useful winning chaser for Dan Skelton; in excellent form for his current yard too, finally getting off the mark over hurdles in 2m3f novice at Chepstow 22 days ago; the clear form pick.

Fair bumper performer who made a winning start in this sphere in 2m novice here two weeks ago; open to progress but more is needed under a 7lb penalty though.

Fairly useful form when winning his first two bumpers but well held in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last two runs; has since had a wind op and remains with potential now going hurdling.

Blue Bresil gelding who took a step forward when second of 15 in 2m Wetherby novice hurdle in March; capable of better still back up in trip so not out of things.

Placed in an Irish point but little show in a pair of bumpers and on his hurdling debut in 2m4f Newcastle novice last month.
