Two novice wins since wind surgery; opening handicap mark demands further progress

Looked more straightforward in Uttoxeter win; this is much harder and trip an unknown

Pulled up over fences after a break; reverts to hurdles and probably best watched
5	Eritage Bay J:Beau Morgan(7) T:Syd Hosie	J:Beau Morgan(7) T:Syd Hosie	161	—	FP46P-	128	109	36	312d	—	—	+18	20.1	16.25/1	66 2%
