2/1
High class on the Flat (won off a mark of 91 a couple of seasons back) and only hurdles start to date, at Newbury last December, showed he should have a future over hurdles too. Fourth of seven, well beaten on second start over hurdles.

Record in point-to-points is poor and recent switch to rules in Ireland did little to bolster his profile. Best watched on stable debut.

Forecasts

Gibson Park (6/4), Lovato (7/4), Captain Morley (2/1), Novis Adventus (9/4), Excellent Puck (12/1), Breaking Ground (33/1), Patience Tony (50/1), Minella Voucher (66/1), Oregon Gold (100/1), Rubys Cube (100/1), Oyster Pearl (100/1), Supreme Ambition (100/1), Ferngrove (100/1)

Verdict

Breaking Ground, Excellent Puck, Patience Tony and Oyster Pearl could be vying for the lead in the early stages here in a race where we can put a line through most. Novis Adventus and Captain Morley, should be on the shortlist, but preference is for Lovato, won a Uttoxeter novice hurdle, beating nine rivals at the start of the month and GIBSON PARK, second of six, here three weeks ago in 2m novice hurdle.
  1. Gibson Park
  2. Lovato
  3. Captain Morley
