Bumper and Flat winner ran well when finishing fourth in a 2m novice hurdle at Warwick (good) on debut for this yard last month. Interesting runner once more.

33 race maiden and well beaten off lowly marks in two starts this season. Others hold stronger claims in this contest.

250/1
Maiden after ten starts and beaten 66L in a 2m claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (good) in November last year. Returning from an absence.
Weakened when finishing 47L seventh in a 2m1f bumper at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) on debut in July 2017. Unraced since and probably best watched switched to hurdles.

18 race maiden finished 3L third over 2m in a handicap hurdle at Worcester (good) last time out. Repeat of that should see him run well once more.

Won twice on the Flat from 26 starts in that sphere. Signs of promise when fifth in a novice hurdle at Worcester (2m, good) in July but struggled since.

9/4
Decent efforts in a couple of bumpers including when fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton (good) in April. Top yard in decent form (4/16) at present and is one to note on hurdling and seasonal debut.

4/1
Winner of a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Towcester (good) last November. Beaten 73L in a hot Listed bumper at Newbury (soft) on debut for this stable in February and is worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.

Broke her maiden at the third attempt when winning a bumper over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) in July. Interesting to see how she fares on hurdling debut.

Fair form in bumpers earlier this year but has struggled in four starts over hurdles since. Others make more appeal at present.

20/1
Dual point-to-point winner including on firm ground in June. Beaten 28L on hurdling debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month however and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Marettimo (2/1), Southfield Torr (9/4), Thistle Do Nicely (4/1), Bardd (5/1), Looks Frozen (5/1), Milldean Silva (18/1), The Overflow (20/1), Stand By Me (20/1), Ataguiseamix (25/1), Pack It In (100/1), Pac It In (100/1), Blackadder (200/1), Demand Respect (250/1), Lord Wessex (250/1)

Verdict

SOUTHFIELD TORR represents a top yard and showed plenty of promise in two bumper starts last season and as such is taken to make a winning hurdling debut in the opening race on the card. Thistle Do Nicely impressed in winning on bumper debut and was highly tried in Listed company subsequently. Jamie Snowden's charge is taken to fill the runner-up berth ahead of Looks Frozen is another making his hurdling debut having shown decent form in bumpers.
  1. Southfield Torr
  2. Thistle Do Nicely
  3. Looks Frozen
