Welcome To Family Day Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

First foal, dam unraced. Placed on 2 of 4 starts in points and backed at prices, he made a winning hurdles debut at Hexham in June, holding on gamely. Bare form is ordinary so he looks vulnerable here.

Runner-up 3 times over hurdles before getting it right at Downpatrick in August (21.8f) keeping on well. More needed under a penalty but he's in good hands.

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) in July, responding well. Matched that form when third under a penalty at Tramore and wasn't far off that level at Bangor, either, with her rider losing his irons early.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France, winning claimer at Compiegne when last seen in March. Claimed from A. Chaille-Chaille for €24,600 after and he sets the clear standard if returning at that level for new yard.

Merit established as low-grade maiden handicapper so booked for a struggle.

Successful sole start in bumpers but remains winless following 19 attempts in this sphere, albeit runner-up 4 times in handicap company this season. Plenty to find back in a novice.

First foal, dam, unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/winning chaser (stayed 25f) who became ungenuine Blow By Blow.
