2/1
Off the mark latest at Warwick (2m3f). Carries a penalty for this but has plenty of hurdles experience to call on and looks sure to go close here.
Chased home high class Kalashnikov in second bumper and won comfortably on hurdles bow at Warwick (2m3f). More to come and looks a smart prospect so big player here.

Not digraced over 2m at Worcester last twice with a pair of fifths but still some way short of the required although he is now upped in trip.
Promise in bumper fourth in June but yet to repeat that in two remote hurdle efforts. Significant step up needed.
Not disgraced on rules bow when third at Worcester (2m4f) but struggling next at same venue when brought down. Place possibilities.

Finished second in a maiden point-to-point back in May (2m4f). Interesting to see how he fares but looks stable second string.
Pulled-up in both point-to-points back in the Spring time. Represents a top yard but that the only obvious positive.

Fontwell bumper scorer didn't perform next up in another bumper before fair fourth on hurdles bow at Market Rasen. Had a long break since but remains of some potential.

Never really got competitive in three bumpers and missed 535 days before last race. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Minella Warrior (4/7), Gortroe Joe (2/1), Ballyblake (10/1), Tricks And Trails (14/1), Malindi Bay (16/1), Up The Drive (16/1), Cybalko (25/1), Desert De Bruyere (40/1), Orchard Lane (50/1), Okmyway (100/1), How Much Is Enough (100/1)

Verdict

MINELLA WARRIOR looked a smart prospect when winning on his hurdles bow and gets the vote here. Fellow winner Gortroe Joe also makes plenty of appeal although he is a little more exposed than his chief rival. Malindi Bay is open to improvement over hurdles so not ruled out.
  1. Minella Warrior
  2. Gortroe Joe
  3. Malindi Bay
