10/11

Won 2016 maiden hurdle and modest 3-runner novice chase at Fakenham in November. Pulled up following two starts then had wind op before pullng up again earlier this month. Narrowly beaten in 3-runner C&D affair two weeks ago and sets the standard.

7/4

Won 2016 point-to-point. First start under rules for new yard when second in two-runner Warwick novice chase, never looking likely to score. Hard to assess and looks no superstar, but this is a poor race. Represents leading local yard.

16/1

Won 2017 maiden point-to-point. Fourth for new yard in Hereford maiden hurdle last month but beaten out of sight by sole rival on chasing bow at Huntingdon soon after. No great shakes but this is a poor race so not dismissed.

6/1

Nine-year-old maiden mare makes chaisng bow today after near three year absence. Third in Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March 2015 her only piece of real form but has clearly had issues and is hard to recommend after so long on the sidelines.

Forecasts

Holbrook Park (10/11), Minmore Present (7/4), Chill In The Wood (6/1), Ticket To Ride (16/1)

In a very modest contest HOLBROOK PARK can come out on top having gone close here last time. He at least has won a race under rules and has been found another good opportunity. Minmore Present and Ticket To Ride both look very ordinary, but the former is respected due to his stable's fine course record, while the latter has shown a modicum of ability. Chill In The Wood has it all to do after nearly three years out of action.
