Etna Bianco (G)
[T]
£140,000 Irish point winner who showed benefit of hurdles debut when successful in 5-runner novice at Ascot in November. Found out in Grade 1 company at Newbury and tongue tied, he didn't fare much better back in a novice a month ago.

£190,000 purchase after scoring in points. Promise despite failing to land the odds on hurdles debut in November and made no mistake at Hereford 5 weeks later. Can only improve for this longer trip so major claims of following up.

Tiddesley Wood (G)
[T]
Built on hurdling debut promise when bagging 9-runner novice hurdle at Windsor (2½m, good to soft) in November. Progress has rather stalled since, faring about as well as could be expected when fourth of 6 in listed company last month.
