Uttoxeter

"He won his second start over hurdles and then we ran him in the Grade 1 Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree. I wouldn't normally do that, but he ran respectably. We had a couple of hiccups last season but he's going well and we think a bit of him. We'll probably stay over hurdles but he'll jump a fence in time. 30-10-25"

"He did very well last term in novice hurdles, winning three times and finishing up on a fair mark of 105. I gave him a pipe-opener at Chepstow last month when he finished third and went up 1lb. We started him off over fences at Doncaster on Saturday in a novice handicap chase company, and he made a good start to finish second. 30-11-22"
