Cheltenham Race 6 - Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Registered As The Bristol Novices' Hurdle) (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)
SKYJACK HIJACK (2) keeps on winning. Bids for a seven timer after an impressive 9.5L success in a 4400m novices hurdle two weeks ago at Newcastle. Up sharply in level. Extremely progressive this year. Makes plenty of appeal. CLONDAW GENERAL (5) made a winning rules debut in good style during October landing a 4600m novices hurdle at Worcester. Rates well. WESTERN KNIGHT (3) scored narrowly contesting a 4400m novices hurdle at Ascot. Open to further improvement. French challenger JET BLUE (1) has been showing plenty of ability in France this year. Interesting.

Impressive in recent runs. Comes off a 38 day let-up. Last start finished second of 9 starters at Auteuil 5yo+ HDLE CL2 on November 6 over 3600m, 0.8 len behind Ain't Got Wings carrying 71kg at $4.40. The run to post a big 7 len win. Auteuil 4-5yo HDLE CL2 on October 13 over 3600m in the wet defeating Kayo Coco carrying 69kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Must be respected.

On a six run winning streak. Last run to post a big 9 len win. Newcastle 4yo+ HDLE (C2) on November 30 over 4400m defeating Zanndabad with 73.5kg at $1.90 in a hurdle. Run before to post a big 26 len win. Exeter 4yo+ HDLE (C3) on November 8 over 4300m defeating Captain Bellamy carrying 74.5kg at $2.60 in a hurdle. Likely to add to the picket fence.
