Winner of his last two hurdles but has looked a very hard ride on both occasions going in snatches the second time and looking none too genuine. Despite the small field he faces a tough task here giving weight away to the entire field.
Did win a couple of weak hurdles events when with Gordon Elliott with the most recent win coming in a Southwell selling event. Found the double penalty anchoring him last time over shorter and faces another stiff task up in trip.
3-12 over fences and has shown some useful form in that sphere and made the most of a good opportunity over hurdles last time in a first-time visor. Made all at Worcester and likely to be positively ridden again; sound chance.
The only member of the field without any hurdling experience she comes here unbeaten in two bumper runs. She scored by 11L on the 2nd occasion and is more than capable of making her presence felt here.
Forecasts
Bugsie Malone (1/1), Haul Away (15/8), Andapa (7/2), Robin Des Mana (25/1)
The ready winner at Worcester BUGSIE MALONE is taken to score again here with his front-running and rather smoother style of running preferable to that of Haul Away who has looked a hard ride so far and may not appreciate this sharp course. Andapa looks as though she could be useful over hurdles given her bumper form although she lacks the experience of the rest of the field in this sphere.
- Bugsie Malone
- Andapa
- Haul Away
