Face d'Music (G)
[B]
More hope in last two starts, third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (12/1) 14 days ago, finding the 15.8f trip inadequate. Back up significantly in trip which should suit as he stays well. Could be competitive back down in class.

Winning pointer who improved markedly upped in trip when winning readily in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f) 8 days ago, travelled powerfully and made a mockery of her mark. Still well-treated under a penalty and can follow up …
