Houndsworth
HOUNDSWORTH impressed when making a successful handicap hurdle debut at Cork recently and a 10 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. Uptaurintop simply did too much too soon over 21f here last time and is interesting back down in trip with cheekpieces added. Wild Wild Wind and The Dancen Kid also make the shortlist.

Tongue strap on first time, much improved to make a winning handicap hurdle debut after a break (reportedly had breathing operation) in 20-runner event at Cork (2m, soft) 10 days ago. Open to progress so even a 10 lb rise may not stop him.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork2mYieldingHurdle1/20Fairyhouse2mSoft to HeavyHurdle10/14Ballinrobe2m 1f 215ySoftHurdle8/11Killarney2m 1fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle8/10Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat3/7- 14Wild WindJ: H.
