Seaston Spirit³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

9/4

Winner on hurdling bow in January over this sort of trip on testing ground at Huntingdon, let down by his jumping next out, can get involved if brushing up on that aspect of his game.

4/11

Runner-up over C&D on heavy in January in better race, ran well enough on handicap debut at Huntingdon off this mark next time. Tongue tie added and likely to lay down a challenge.

Form: 0-6U423

100/1

Mare was pulled up in 2m3f soft-ground novice hurdle last month on debut, struggling a long way from home having gone off at 25/1. Has plenty improvement to find now.

Form: P

Solstice Twilight²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A J Honeyball

33/1

Hasn't shown anything in three starts over hurdles to warrant suggestion she will be a major player. Getting competitive would be a start, potentially one for handicaps down the line.

Forecasts

Larry (4/11), Dell Oro (10/11), Seaston Spirit (9/4), Solstice Twilight (33/1), Shouldagonetovegas (33/1), Judge Judy (100/1)

Dell Oro has fairly solid claims on form but he might not necessarily be seen to best effect over this trip and that has to be a concern at likely short odds. LARRY ran well over C&D and didn't do badly off this mark on his handicap bow. With a tongue tie added today, he can get off the mark. Seaston Spirit looks best of the remainder, though he needs to brush up his hurdling technique.
