8/11
Not cheap at £150,000 after winning his only point-to-point and maintained that progress when landing an impressive win at Worcester to floor the odds-on favourite. This isn't a deep field and he could well give away the penalty here.

Consistent so far over hurdles without looking as though he will be able to win a novice hurdles. Sort to do better in handicaps and looks up against it here.

11/4
Stable are having winners in this sphere and he was a winner of a soft ground bumper at Warwick before struggling in Listed company in that sphere. Looks to have potential though and respected in this.

Visor now goes on after he was pulled-up on his Rules/hurdles debut showing very little and faces a tough task in this.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: Maurice Linehan(3)| T: S A Harris
33/1
Hard to recommend him on what he's shown over hurdles so far and remains a Flat maiden also; looks outclassed in this.

25/1
All three bumpers have seen her beaten a fair way and not hard to look elsewhere given the opposition as she starts her hurdling career.

Legende Volanteh16
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy
25/1
Well held in two bumpers (very keen) and wore a hood for her hurdles debut (retained here). Looks one for the longer term though and handicaps once she has a mark.

Forecasts

Sky Pirate (8/11), Marten (11/4), Mackie Dee (9/2), Legende Volante (25/1), Bury The Evidence (25/1), Rob's Legacy (33/1), Not An Oscar (66/1)

Verdict

No real strength in depth but a potentially interesting duel between the penalised SKY PIRATE who has shown a likeable attitude so far but will face a tough test against Marten. The latter comes from a stable who are showing some strong form in this sphere. Mackie Dee has occupied third place on a few previous occasions and that could be the same story here and he would have more chance in handicaps.
  1. Sky Pirate
  2. Marten
  3. Mackie Dee
