Mister Miyagi²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: S Edmunds| OR: 139

1/9

Useful hurdler and made the perfect start to his chasing career when winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time out. Slight drop in trip no inconvenience and he is a leading contender once more.

Form: 3260/0-1

Asum^t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 120

9/2

Successful off a mark of 115 in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December. Finished well beaten on chasing debut last month and has a fair bit to find with his rivals in this contest.

Form: F/5712-0

Forecasts

Mister Miyagi (1/9), Minella Awards (4/5), Asum (9/2)

The concession of weight may prove too much for Mister Miyagi who was a winner on chase debut last time and as such this three runner contest can go the way of useful hurdler MINELLA AWARDS who is making his debut over fences here. Asum has plenty to find with his rivals on official ratings and can finish third.
