1m2f Flat winner (fair form); soundly beaten on hurdling debut, settling again a problem

2nd in Fontwell bumper last April; his two runs over hurdles were a far cry form that
11	Djerbanni Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Ian Williams	J:Robert Dunne T:Ian Williams	151	—	4P	-	-	-	21d	—	—	-1	0.2	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Fair on Flat in France but gave two uninspiring displays over hurdles in Britain
5	Huckleberry Sting Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Dan Skelton	J:Charlie Todd T:Dan Skelton	159	—	790	-	86	57	109d	—	—	0	0.1	50.00/1	200/1 0%
