Notched a hat-trick over fences between December 2017 and March 2018 (135-rated); switched back to hurdles when making all and seeing off Legalized over the extended 2m3f here (good) on New Years Day; penalised and up in trip.
Finished in the frame on all three starts over hurdles (2m3f+ to 2m7f+); arguably unlucky in the run when finishing hot on the heels behind subsequent winner Uno Mas at Fakenham latest; holds every chance at the weights.
Well beaten at big prices in a couple of runs in bumpers, including at this track on Friday (for Phil Kirby); up markedly in trip for hurdles debut.
Doesn't appeal based upon the level of ability that she has demonstrated so far; has had wind surgery but again failed to see out her race over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) latest; a sounder surface should prove favourable.
Forecasts
Shaman Du Berlais (4/6), Hogan's Height (11/10), Trans Des Obeaux (100/1), Samba Time (125/1)
Hogan's Height is penalised for winning a similar contest here on New Years Day but it is the step up in trip which makes him potentially vulnerable against his sole realistic rival SHAMAN DU BERLAIS. Strictly speaking, at the weights there's probably precious little between the pair but one must tilt one way or the other, so the Tim Vaughan charge gets the nod.
- Shaman Du Berlais
- Hogan's Height
- Samba Time
