A change of yard can give BAY OF INTRIGUE (1.00, nap) a new lease of life and he can finally get off the mark over hurdles at Lingfield on Tuesday.
The seven-year-old was fairly progressive for John O'Shea, with a close second at Plumpton in January 2020 his best effort.
But he seemed to lose his way a little when transferred to Tom Symonds shortly after that .
His handicap mark has plummeted as a result and that, coupled with the fact he has now joined the in-form Fergal O'Brien stable, makes him worth a punt in the Download The At The Races App Conditional Jockeys' Training Series Handicap Hurdle over two miles.
On the Tapeta surface at Newcastle, the Phil McEntee-trained TELL'EM NOWT (6.15, nb) is expected to make it three wins from three visits to Gosforth Park in the Betway Handicap.
The four-year-old beat Clear Angel by a neck over six furlongs in January and followed up over the same distance early this month with a game nose defeat of Ginato.
My selection was unsuited by the drop down in trip to five furlongs when only seventh of 11 at Southwell early this month, but back up to six and back at Newcastle will see him in a better light under regular rider Daniel Muscutt.
