Cheltenham Race 1 - Citipost Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

TOAD HALL (6) represents a top Irish stable. Confirmed promise when a 10L winner of a 4400m maiden hurdle at Downpatrick seventeen days ago. Leading contender. Stablemate DR EGGMAN (4) found success by 1.5L attempting a 3800m maiden hurdle last month at Limerick. Rates highly. JAX JUNIOR (1) caught the eye three outings ago winning by 17L a 4400m novices hurdle at Ascot. Respect as set to bounce back. PLEASINGTON (3) drops in grade. Warrants a second look.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 33 days. Last start pulled up at this track in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle on March 14 over 4800m. The start before that; finished third in a small field at Huntingdon in the LR on February 6 over 3900m, 1.5 len behind Califet En Vol with 72kg at $2.50. Worth another chance in this company.

The run before won by 4.5 len Bangor-On-Dee on February 7 over 3300m slow track defeating Malinificent with 73.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Sure to improve again. Shapes as an each-way chance.

Resuming after a two months break. Finished off last campaign when last in a small field at Huntingdon in the LR February 6 over 3900m, 92 len behind Califet En Vol carrying 72kg at $29. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len this track October 26 over 3300m defeating Fortune De Mer with 71kg at $15. This looks tough and others preferred.

Resumes off a 41 day letup. Last start finished third of 10 starters at Fontwell Park on March 6 over 3560m, 12 len behind Le Tiep's Sacre with 72kg at $5.50. Before that finished sixth of 10 starters at Windsor on January 19 over 3200m, on slow going 16 len behind Idaho Sun with 71.5kg at $15. Encouraging run latest but happy to overlook without further improvement.
