6/5

Off the mark over hurdles when winning at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last time out. Penalised for that success but likely to run well once more.

Six race maiden under rules and finished runner-up off a mark of 115 at Warwick (2m3f, good-to-soft) last time out. Interesting to see how he fares in this contest.

Sehayli⁴⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Farrelly

33/1

12 race maiden on the Flat and well beaten over 6f & 7f on the Flat for Lee Carter in early 2017. Others make more appeal switched to hurdles on debut for this yard.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 111

3/1

Made a winning handicap debut in a 2m1f contest at Cheltenham (good) last month. Represents a leading yard and receives weight from all of her rivals in this.

Forecasts

Hurricane Dylan (6/5), Lissycasey (7/4), Stylish Dancer (3/1), Sehayli (33/1)

HURRICANE DYLAN looks capable of following up last months Sedgefield success by taking this four runner novice hurdle. Stylish Dancer, victorious in a handicap last time can chase the selection home while Lissycasey can finish third on his return to novice company.
