8/11
Has bits and pieces of form over hurdles without winning. Starts life with his new yard today and if that perks him up he's a leading player in this line-up.

Bumper form was average and the switch to hurdling has not been any better. Likely to find a couple of these too sharp.

11/8
Just failed over slightly further at Cartmel last month when getting collared late on. Jumping has not always been the best but this slight drop in trip looks a good move and a major player.

Improved for switch to hurdling when only beaten 5¼L at Perth two weeks ago. Champion jockey takes the ride and should be capable of better.

Having first start for a year when hooded at Ffos Las two weeks ago. Led and weakened in the straight there. Should come on a bit for the run but plenty to find for win purposes.

Forecasts

Mountain Rock (8/11), Sonic (11/8), Express Pierre (3/1), Night Manager (11/1), Celtic Sally (40/1), Norm The Storm (66/1)

Verdict

This could develop into a match between Mountain Rock on his first start for Ian Williams and SONIC. The last named shaped with real promise over further last time and it looks like he should be tough to pass over this slightly shorter trip.
  1. Sonic
  2. Mountain Rock
  3. Celtic Sally
