Bumper winner and broke his maiden over hurdles at the first attempt when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last time out. One to note despite carrying a penalty.
Winner of a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (good) earlier this month. Penalised for that success and interesting to see if he can repeat that here.
Struggled in both outings so far including on hurdling debut over an extended 2m5f recently. Dropping in trip for this contest.
Tailed off when making his debut in a soft ground bumper at Taunton in January. Had wind surgery since but others make more appeal on hurdling debut.
Fair efforts on both starts so far including when 23L fourth of five on hurdling debut over C&D earlier this month. Hood tried for a yard in good form (13/43) at present.
Struggled in three starts so far and finished well beaten over C&D earlier this month. Others make more appeal in this.
Well held on all three outings most recently over C&D earlier this month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.
Held fourth of six in a Kempton novice hurdle over 2m on good ground when making his debut over obstacles recently. Others make more appeal.
Decent effort in finishing 23L sixth in a novice contest over 2m3f on good ground here three weeks ago. Interesting to see if he can build on that in this contest.
Fair efforts in point-to-point company on three of his four starts. Likely more needed on stable debut now switched to rules racing.
Ran well to finish 6L second at Fakenham (2m, soft) on hurdling debut in March. Struggled on better ground subsequently but this return to 2m looks likely to suit.
Couple of decent efforts in bumpers late last year but has struggled over hurdles this spring and is probably best watched at present.
Never a factor prior to pulling up on hurdling debut at Bangor (good) recently. Looks the stable second string in this event.
Forecasts
Mick Maestro (11/10), Finley's Eyes (5/1), Mr Dorrell Sage (5/1), Ruggiero (6/1), Some Can Dance (12/1), Bubble O'Clock (14/1), Telegraph Place (33/1), Gaucho (33/1), Midnight Aurora (50/1), Gaucho Gil (50/1), Man Of The North (66/1), Involve (80/1), Deck Of Cards (150/1)
MICK MAESTRO sets the standard on form and he can maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles by taking this opening novice contest. Trainer Tom George is on good form at present (5/19) and his charge can get the better of fellow previous winner Mr Dorrell Sage who was a winner at Fontwell last time.The application of a hood should aid Finley's Eyes who pulled hard on hurdling debut and he can take third.
- Mick Maestro
- Mr Dorrell Sage
- Finley's Eyes
