Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
100/1
Well held on debut at Worcester in June 2016 and likely best watched on debut for new stable.
beaten when falling late on in a point-to-point 12 months ago but made amends at Glenbane in November. Full-brother to a useful jumps performer Red Devil Boys and market support would be interesting.
3
Horse silk
80/1
Finished well beaten under today's rider in a bumper at Fontwell last month and likely to improve with experience.
4
Horse silk
66/1
Always towards the rear when finishing last of eight on debut at Bangor last month. Yard have a 33% strike rate (3/9) of late but likely to fair better once tackling hurdles.
Westerner gelding cost £25,000 as a three-year-old in 2015. Half-brother to useful jumpers Operating and Mercuric and hails from a yard that can ready a debutant. Worth a check in the market.
Tiger Hill gelding and a half-brother to winners on the Flat at up to 1m4f, also to placed hurdler Ninepointsixthree. Makes a belated debut here and probably best watched for a yard with a 4% strike rate (1/28) in these races.
7
Horse silk
50/1
Cost €10,500 as a three-year-old and a half-brother to winning hurdler Bannow Rose. Stable had a winner on the Flat recently but no bumper winners in the past five seasons (14 runners).
8
Horse silk
11/8
Left clear when easily winning a point-to-point at Dromahane in April 2015. Purchased for €80,000 subsequently and makes his belated racecourse debut for a yard with a 16% strike rate (29/182) in bumpers in recent years.

3/1
Finished 3L second when making his debut in an AW bumper at Lingfield three months ago. Absence since is a slight concern but comes from a top yard and wears a first time hood here.
10
Horse silk
6/1
Irish raider who cost €10,000 as a two-year-old at the breeze up sales in France in 2015. Sire Walk In The Park is making a big name for himself and interesting to see how she fares with a top jockey booked to ride.
Beaten 11L in an AW bumper when making her debut at Lingfield in January.Half-sister to useful jumper Santera and interesting to see how she handles the different conditions she will experience here.

Forecasts

Out Of Style (11/8), Hatcher (3/1), Clondaw Castle (7/2), Clementina (6/1), High Noon (12/1), Lady Vitesse (25/1), Mister Rainman (50/1), Jimmy Bell (66/1), Gaelic Magnum (66/1), Fafa (80/1), An Scairp (100/1)

Verdict

HATCHER can register his first success at the second time of asking here for his top trainer. The selection finished runner-up at Lingfield three months ago and can get the better of the winning point-to-pointer Clondaw Castle who comes from an in form yard with Clementina taken to finish third on her debut for a shrewd handler.
  1. Hatcher
  2. Clondaw Castle
  3. Clementina
