Horse A-Z
Only beaten a handful of horses home in three starts so far, showing little in the process. Appears to face an uphill task here.

16/1
£12,000 purchase at Doncaster sales in the spring after finishing third in a point-to-point in Ireland. Makes minimal appeal on paper and likely to find a few of these too quick today.
€14,000 purchase at stores sales last year, good chasing pedigree and made a very satisfactory debut when second in a Worcester bumper last month. That may not have been the strongest event, but he will improve for the experience.

9/4
Full brother to winning hurdler Call Back, and has shown more than enough ability in three starts so far, runner up all three times. Faces likely quicker ground on hurdles debut but clearly a player if jumping fluently.

4/6
Good looking individual that has an excellent jumps pedigree, third to two useful sorts at Newbury and poor effort at Market Rasen after that is easily forgiven. Will improve again this season and hurdles experience here will be a plus.

Forecasts

What's Occurring (4/6), Gwalia (9/4), Stop The World (7/2), Golden Promise (7/1), Malindi Bay (14/1), Dr Oakley (16/1), Buddy Lightning (150/1)

Verdict

Probably just three to concentrate on and WHAT'S OCCURING readily makes the most appeal. He impressed physically last year and did not look out of place in better company than he faces today. He can get off the mark at the expense of Stop The World, who will want more of a trip as the season progresses but for the time being, can make his presence felt here. Gwalla and Golden Promise should both win races this term too.
