8/11
Heavy ground novices' handicap hurdle winner at Hereford in February and also ran with credit next time at Chepstow from a 9lb higher mark. Still looks like he's on the up and should be hard to beat despite his trainer's low strike rate in novice hurdles.

Won impressively in a novice hurdle at Plumpton two starts back, clearly enjoying the soft ground that day. Beaten by a smart looking prospect last time and nothing as dangerous as that rival lis likely to be lurking in here. Should go well but a faster surface is a bit of an unknown and yard have been a little quiet lately.
Has an attractive pedigree and showed some promise on his debut at Warwick and improved on that effort on his next start here. Should enjoy the step up in trip but the ground isn't sure to suit.

Forecasts

Yorgonnahearmeroar (8/11), Postbridge (2/1), Project Mars (5/1), Celestial Dancer (8/1)

Verdict

It's still early days for YORGONNAHEARMEROAR and he could be tough to beat back in novice company, setting a clear standard on form. Postbridge was beaten by a smart type last time and may find this a little easier. Project Mars should be suited by the step up in trip and finished an eye-catching third here last time.
