Point-to-point winner in 2015 but disappointed over hurdles. Beaten 31l off a mark of 118 when third of five at Fakenham last time out. Back into maiden company here but yard badly out of form at present (0/26).
Placed in a point-to-point in Ireland in December and ran respectably on debut for this yard in a bumper at Southwell in January. Maiden hurdle he contested last time out looks like a decent affair and yard has been in the winners recently (8/44).
Placed in two of his three outings over hurdles including when an 11L second at Hereford on soft ground in November. Well held fourth on handicap debut upped in trip at Wincanton in January and interesting back in a maiden event here.
Showed ability in a bumper and his first two outings over hurdles including when 1L to the classy Movewiththetimes over just short of an extended 1m7f at Wincanton in December. proved a disappointment at Newbury last time out but this return to the predicted better ground should suit.
Dual point-to-point winner in 2015 and ran well when runner-up as favourite on debut for this yard in a bumper at Bangor in October of that year. Finished last of 13 when favourite again at Newbury the following month and has a 17 month absence to overcome here.
Well held in two maiden hurdles in Ireland for previous yard. Predicted better ground may suit here but probably best watched for a yard that's out of form at present (0/29).
Ran out on debut in a bumper at Wincanton in April 2016. Well held in that sphere and over hurdles since including when pulled up last time out and looks an unlikely winner with a hood and tongue tie applied here.
Maiden point-to-point winner in Ireland in April 2016 and wore a tongue tie on debut for this yard in a Wincanton bumper in December. Makes his first hurdles here but likely to fair better in time.
Finished runner-up on penultimate outing in a maiden hurdle over an extended 1m7f at Musselburgh last month and ran well when upped in trip for a Grade 3 handicap at Sandown latest. Form of that looks decent and likely to go well in this.
Forecasts
Touch Kick (6/4), Bradford Bridge (3/1), Hidden Cargo (10/3), Royalzaro (12/1), Bach De Clermont (14/1), Sizing At Midnight (16/1), Bite The Biscuit (50/1), Telmadela (100/1), Speedalong (250/1)
HIDDEN CARGO ran well on his penultimate outing over hurdles and can put a poor effort last time out behind him by taking this with the predicted underfoot conditions likely to suit. Of the remainder Bradford Bridge can claim second having finished well beaten in fourth in a handicap last time out while Touch Kick can claim third.
