TIMEFORM VIEW Failed to win in 4 bumpers but he did achieve a decent level of form and he proved up to making a successful start over hurdles in novice company at Taunton in November, edging out a Nicholls odds-on shot. Disappointing when well beaten at Kempton last time but could bounce back after a small break.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair dual winner over fences last season but he’d shown just modest form over hurdles prior to that, so improvement needed if he’s to trouble the principals.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fourth in a Chepstow bumper on Rules debut and stepped up on that when just touched off in a Wincanton maiden hurdle (15.2f) in November In the process of confirming that promise (likely to have won) when unseating her rider soon after 2 out back there on Boxing Day. Can make amends here. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating -

Betting Forecast:

Race Summary:

PASSIONATE PURSUIT was in the process of confirming her hurdling debut promise when coming down at Wincanton on Boxing Day and this looks a good opportunity to make amends. Mamoon Star had looked quite promising at Taunton prior to disappointing at Kempton, so can give the selection plenty to think about if bouncing back. TIMEFORM
