Point winner; ability in a bumper; quiet hurdle debut but had wind surgery since
4	Rangatira Jack Chestnut J:Sean Houlihan T:Linda Blackford	J:Sean Houlihan T:Linda Blackford	160	—	80-594	105	109	100	39d	—	—	+9	15.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Much improved here last month when beaten under 10l behind respected opposition

Fair level of ability in bumpers; beaten 12l on hurdle debut after some novicey jumping

Didn't run too badly to be a 12l fourth at Hereford after making an early mistake

Beaten more than 20l in his two bumpers (heavy/soft) and he wouldn't be the obvious answer

50-1 and finished a long way behind Goonhilly here last month; no appeal for now

No worthwhile form in a bumper and two hurdles at Taunton; one for handicaps later on
