Runner-up in point bumper but little encouragement so far under Rules, proving too headstrong both starts over hurdles.

Cost £115,000 after finishing runner-up in an Irish point. Shaped with encouragement when eighth of 16 at Doncaster on sole outing in bumpers and did the same when runner-up on Southwell hurdling debut (15.8f) in March, going off too hard. Had breathing op and has outstanding claims. Tongue tied.

Point winner who has shaped with promise in making the frame in a pair of course bumpers. Longer trips are bound to suit in due course but still warrants respect in a thin maiden on hurdling debut.

Telescope mare. Dam (h119), bumper/2½m-25f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Volador. Made frame sole start in points.
Timeform Verdict 
COBBLER'S BOY shaped encouragingly until his exertions told when runner-up to a subsequent winner on his Southwell hurdling debut back in March and this looks an excellent opportunity to go one better. Big Boy Barney has shown promise in a pair of course bumpers and is the obvious threat.
Betting Forecast
40/1 Ballymena Boy (Ire), 100/1 New Man (Fr), 4/6 Cobbler's Boy (Ire), 9/4 Big Boy Barney (Ire), 17/2 Foxy's Friend
