Br Mrs E. A. Pendarves S Coral Racing Limited TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form in bumpers but confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing big-field novice at Lingfield in November (2m).

Br T. C. Dawson S Weatherbys Hamilton LLP TIMEFORMVIEW Left previous efforts well behind when second of 13 at Fontwell a month ago. Opening mark has taken a hit as a result and he must brush up his jumping to progress. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 7/2/2022 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running.

Betting Forecast: 3-1 Mark of Gold (GB), 10-3 Punctuation (GB), 6-1 Irish Hill (GER), 11-1 Madiba Passion (FR), 12-1 John Betjeman (GB), Flinteur Sacre (FR), 14-1 Pearly Island (GB), 16-1 Sherborne (IRE), 25-1 Fred Bear (IRE) Race Summary: PUNCTUATION justified support in good style starting out for Fergal O’Brien in January and, given his Flat form, this revised mark ought to be within range. Mark of Gold is a big threat on handicap debut, while it would be no surprise to see Irish Hill get back on the up.
