Placed in a couple of point-to-points on good ground last spring and finished a decent fifth on rules debut at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) a month ago. Well beaten subsequently however.
Placed in a point-to-point from five starts and well beaten in two outings over hurdles. Probably best watched at present.
Placed in a bumper at Stratford (good) last August. Fair fifth on hurdling debut here a month ago and interesting to see how he fares with a tongue tie added for the first time.
Towcester bumper winner on good-to-soft ground in November 2016. Had just two starts since and is one to note on his hurdling bow.
Well beaten in a couple of bumpers last season and making his hurdling debut following over 13 months off the track.
Placed three times from five hurdling starts most recently when 8L second at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January. One for the shortlist in this contest.
Placed in a point-to-point and stepped up on his bumper debut when finishing 8L second over hurdles at Doncaster (soft) last time out. Returning from a break on this occasion.
Well held in five point-to-point starts and it's been a similar story since switched to rules racing. Making his second start since joining this yard.
Well held in three starts over hurdles including at Bangor (good) last October. Probably best watched on her return from a break.
Point-to-point winner on good-to-yielding ground 13 months ago but struggled in the main since going under rules. Dropping in trip for this.
Forecasts
Paddy's Poem (5/2), Present From Dubai (3/1), Mick Maestro (5/1), Tikk Tock Boom (5/1), Lookforarainbow (10/1), Big Difference (11/1), Candlelight Story (40/1), Mountain Chimes (40/1), The Paddy Pie (40/1), Future Boy (50/1)
A repeat of PRESENT FROM DUBAI'S second at Doncaster last time out can see him break his maiden at the second time of asking over hurdles. Chief rival here may well be the hurdling debutant Mick Maestro who has already tasted success in bumper company while Paddy's Poem, who is another to have placed over hurdles already can take third this time.
- Present From Dubai
- Mick Maestro
