Howth
Switched to hurdles for new yard last May-September and won four of his six starts (all on good ground), two of them over C&D (one a handicap); held in fourth of six at Plumpton last September when last seen but retains potential; yard among the winners and he could go well back from a break.

From the connections
“Howth is a fine, big horse and looked capable of winning a maiden. It's nice to win one with him - Seamie Heffernan, rider.”
