Recorded a modest time when landing a Bartlemy maiden point-to-point in May. That form is not strong but he has joined a top yard who have a good record here
Third in Punchstown Festival bumper in April. Bought for £40,000 and looked in need of the run on stable debut. Having first run over hurdles and tackling a trip which will test his stamina.
Bought for £10,000 in June after winning a weak point-to-point for Colin Bowe. Not beaten far at Sedgefield two weeks ago and although the form is not strong, his fitness and hurdling experience are in his favour.
Bought for £80,000 after finishing runner-up in a Tallow point-to-point. Has joined a stable in very good form and one with a 13-33 record here with hurdlers over past five seasons.
Won two of his last three point-to-points before joining this yard for £40,000. Looked one paced on Carlisle hurdling debut but at least has the experience and the extra half-mile helps.
Forecasts
Notachance (9/4), Ardlethen (11/4), Trio For Rio (7/2), Fontley House (4/1), Morraman (8/1)
Morraman and Trio For Rio have vital hurdling experience but both look vulnerable if either Ardlethen or NOTACHANCE are slightly above average. The former recorded a slow time around the testing Bartlemy point-to-point circuit and has since joined the powerful Skelton team. The selection achieved more when sent off favourite for his sole start between the flags only to go down narrowly. Fontley House will be better for his latest run but would make more appeal over 2m4f.
- Notachance
- Ardlethen
- Trio For Rio
