Makes his Rules debut having cost £11,000 as a four-year-old; multiple point-to-point winner with his last win in that sphere coming in April 2017. Blinkered for his first hurdles starts from a yard that have had a promising first season.
One of two runners from this top stable who fell at the first on his hurdles debut in late 2016. Not seen since then and the market is likely to reveal what is expected of him now.
Winner of a maiden point-to-point on his debut he stepped up markedly on his only bumpers start on his hurdles debut (strong in the betting). Again showed plenty of ability prior to falling last time out; respected but will make a better chaser.
Hardly a cheap purchase (£260,000) but has yet to repay any of that purchase price having shown a little more on his second run than he did on his debut. Ran poorly last time (may not have been right); found little but given another chance here.
Made very little impact in three novice hurdles so far and hard to see him getting involved here. Qualified for handicaps and that here his future lies.
Too stoutly bred to win a bumper and it was the same story on her hurdles debut over 2m but showed a little more upped in trip last time to 2m4f. That was only a modest run though and she would need to improve to take a hand here.
Finished well held on her bumper debut and was then given a considerate introduction to hurdling just over a year ago at Exeter on quick ground. Conditions will be very different here and she can only be watched for now.
Forecasts
The Dellercheckout (10/11), Snuff Box (4/1), Athreeothree (9/2), Selfcontrol (7/1), Chloe's Court (16/1), Urtheonethatiwant (125/1), Lady Wethered (150/1)
The obvious one here is The Dellercheckout who is now tried with a tongue-tie on for the first time having found little last time out when he may not have been right at Ludlow. However ATHREEOTHREE comes from a yard that have done well with this type this year and he’s given the vote to make a winning debut under Rules. Snuff Box has run with encouragement on a couple of occasions now and will enjoy conditions while Selfcontrol is one to watch in the market.
