Promising bumper efforts; remote 4th on hurdle debut but should strip fitter here

His Plumpton form is already looking fragile and he carries a penalty
6	The Ron Do Ron Bay J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary & Josh Moore	154	—	444-	-	108	62	203d	—	—	-11	4.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fourth in two bumpers and again on his switch to hurdling at Chepstow; has to step up

Promise in bumpers but still looks very much up against it in a race of this nature

Multiple Flat winner; even if he takes to hurdling, this is no easy starter at a top track

His bumper form pales into insignificance when compared with what some in here achieved

Very smart bumper form marks him down as an exciting prospect for novice hurdles
