Dave Johnson At Breakfast On Signal 2 Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 3m 48.00s

Anytime Will Do¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

4/5

Nicely backed when landing a bumper at Taunton on debut for this stable in April. Sure to have been well prepared for this hurdling debut, but stable not quite in the same form as during the summer.

Form: F1-

Bazukhov¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs F Kehoe

66/1

Beaten a long way on both starts over hurdles at Southwell and Warwick, but is a point-to-point winner. Needs to up his game to get involved.

Form: 441/68

Darsi In The Park²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

25/1

Point-to-point winner who was beaten a long way in a bumper at Doncaster in February. Hurdling debut and hails from a strong stable which won this last year so is worth a check in the betting.

Form: F/U18-

Let's Get At It¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy

5/1

Showed ability in both bumpers for Harry Whittington. Hurdling debut for a new stable which is going well and interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 74-

No Getaway²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

10/1

Signs of ability in bumpers at this venue and Doncaster and now tries his luck over timber. Stable looks to have a stronger candidate in Anytime Will Do.

Form: 55-

Promise Of Peace^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: D McCain Jnr

7/2

Definite signs of ability in both starts over hurdles, the latest after wind surgery. Needs to take a step forward, but may well do so and stable is in decent form.

Form: 53

Starjac²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P R Webber

14/1

Gelded son of Linda's Lad who fetched only €6,500 as a yearling, but is a brother to a winning hurdler in France. Not disgraced on debut in a Kempton bumper in March and is worth a market check as he makes his hurdling bow.

Form: 5-

Up The Drive¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Shoemark| T: D Skelton

66/1

First run for this stable when beaten out of sight in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at this venue last month. One of three representatives for the trainer and is best watched.

Form: 28

Foxtrot Juliet⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy

20/1

First run following a wind operation when jumping poorly and finishing tailed off under this jockey at Market Rasen. Stable companion of Let's Get At It, who boasts a stronger profile, but interesting that the champion jockey is booked again.

Form: 744-8

Remember Nerja²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Leavy

100/1

Moderate maiden on the Flat. Makes her hurdling debut in an ordinary contest, but is best watched on this first outing since February.

Forecasts

Anytime Will Do (4/5), Commanche Red (9/4), Promise Of Peace (7/2), Let's Get At It (5/1), No Getaway (10/1), Baddesley Prince (12/1), Starjac (14/1), Foxtrot Juliet (20/1), Darsi In The Park (25/1), Bazukhov (66/1), Up The Drive (66/1), Remember Nerja (100/1)

Anytime Will Do is likely to be the starting point for many, but his prolific stable has gone a bit quiet and a chance is taken with LET'S GET AT IT, who showed promise in bumpers and has joined a stable which continues to churn out winners. Baddesley Prince is almost certainly better than he showed on debut, while Darsi In The Park and Promise Of Peace are also of interest.
