Thank You & Goodbye Tom Ryall Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Expensive point winner who built on previous promise in a first-time tongue strap (also had breathing operation) when easily winning 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) 15 days ago. Has a penalty to shoulder but may do better still.

Didn't pull up any trees in a trio of novice hurdles before Christmas but has improved rapidly since going handicapping and got off the mark in dominant fashion at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) 34 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and will be hard to beat if in the same form.
