Essentially carried the good cheer of September's breakthrough Brighton Flat success (1m4f) across to hurdling at Warwick latest (2m, good), not settling but still posting a pleasing near-5l second (sixth and eleventh won next time); player, albeit that drier ground may have been preferred.

65,000euros foal; brother Fleur In The Park all but won a 2m Irish Grade 2 novice chase recently, and the dam landed a Grade 1 chase in France; yard yet to win outside handicaps this term; tongue tied for debut.

May not have enjoyed the scrum of an 18-runner field over C&D latest, but enters the reckoning on his preceding second over 2m3f here in December (albeit no match for Grade 2 runner-up Masked Man).

Subject of a running and riding inquiry after a 54l defeat at Uttoxeter latest (2m, soft) but he's essentially shaping as in need of more time at present and others are more compelling; hood added.

Poet's Word gelding out of a multiple staying hurdle winner; bought for £305,000 soon after an Irish point win for Stuart Crawford last March (3m, yielding to soft; front pair clear) and given plenty of time since; player starting at a realistic level, assuming 2m isn't too sharp.
