Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 2m 7f 180y
Conditions: Good to Soft (Soft in places)
Absolutely Doyen
The claims of ABSOLUTELY DOYEN are pretty persuasive given his progressive profile and the fact that he's unbeaten in four starts for the Nicholls yard. Sleedagh and Irish raider Walks The Talk both remain open to improvement, too, and are feared most in that order of preference. Lewisham Grove should also be on the premises but the aforementioned trio bring stronger credentials to the party.

Made it 4-4 for Paul Nicholls when seeing off 8 rivals in a Wincanton handicap (24.7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, eased down at the finish and leaving the strong impression that he has more in the tank. Very much the one to beat back in novice company.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWincanton3m 150yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/9Ascot3m 102yGood to SoftHurdle1/9Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/5Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 7yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/4Huntingdon1m 7f 171yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/11- 4Walks The TalkJ: Alex HarveyE: John McConnell, Ireland324115Âge 77/23/110/3

Successful at Roscommon and Kelso on first 2 starts in this sphere before finishing fifth of 9 in a listed race at Haydock (19f, good to soft) where she repeatedly jumped right. Will be suited by this return to a right-handed track/step back up in trip and solid chance for last year's winning yard.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHaydock Park2m 2f 191yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Kelso2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/7Roscommon2m 4f 53yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle1/16Cork2m 2f 100yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Bumper4/10Downpatrick2m 2f 165yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper2/8- 2Lewisham GroveJ: Sean QuinlanE: Jennie Candlish56221Âge 56/16/111/2

Took another step forward when opening his account in a big-field Newcastle maiden (20.3f, good to soft) recently, quickening up well to score in decisive fashion. Clearly going the right way and should give another good account but he's up against some highly promising types in this.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/16Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to SoftHurdle2/9Newton Abbot2m 167yGoodHurdle6/12Worcester2mGood to SoftHurdle5/14- 5SleedaghJ: Derek FoxE: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore2-222Âge 68/18/115/2

£80,000 point recruit who has been runner-up on all 4 outings under Rules, most recently in a maiden hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) where he wasn't knocked about. Moving back up in trip here looks a good move and he's of strong interest given his clear scope for improvement.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAyr2m 4f 100ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/11Haydock Park3m 58yGood to SoftHurdle2/5Perth2m 4f 35ySoftHurdle2/9Perth2m 47yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper2/13- 3Out Of The WoodsJ: Patrick WadgeE: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore16-17Âge 618/114/116/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who looked a good prospect when making a successful debut over hurdles in 11-runner maiden at Hexham in November. Wasn't in same form at Newcastle next time, though, and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Sleedagh.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewcastle2m 6fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/8Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/11Kelso2m 51yGood to SoftBumper6/10Ayr2mSoft (Heavy in places)Bumper1/14
