Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Handicap Hurdle

Won a 2m maiden hurdle at Wetherby and ran his best race in handicap company when second at Uttoxeter over just shy of 3m. Not at that level on his chasing debut last time and reverts to hurdles. First-time cheekpieces need to work,

Experienced campaigner who is 4-26 over hurdles and has run well in defeat on his recent outings. Entitled to plenty of respect and is of considerable interest in a first-time visor.

Landed two handicaps over shorter trips last year, but has seemed to resent being tried over fences and recent hurdling displays suggest this is much more her thing. Ran well over this trip two starts ago and has a chance under her top jockey.

Winner of six races over fences, but not as effective over hurdles and comes into this on the back of two poor efforts over the bigger obstacles. Plenty to prove back over timber.

Winning point-to-pointer whose three hurdles efforts were not without merit. Finished third on his chasing debut last time, so it is interesting connections revert to hurdles. Worth considering.

Two runs for this stable have yielded two wins. Finds herself 14lb higher than for the first of those successes, but she may not have reached the ceiling of her ability and looks the most likely winner. Longer trip should be within her compass.
