Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

40/1

Modicum of ability in pair of bumpers but was hopelessly tailed off on hurdling debut in March and needs to improve dramatically on that.

Iconic Muddle¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

16/1

Half brother to the stable's winning chaser Not Another Muddle. Showed a small amount of ability in pair of Newbury novice hurdles in winter and of more interest when going handicapping after this.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 127| BF

10/11

Had a busy spell in the autumn culminating with a second to a now 142 rated horse at Taunton in November. That followed a similar effort at Exeter and meets nothing of that calibre here.

Form: 72/2522-

Redemptorist³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

15/2

75 rated maiden on the Flat where his best effort was a second at Chelmsford over 1m2f. Like his stable companion Made For You, makes hurdling debut now and market should reveal more.

Form:

Reeceltic⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan

20/1

Backed at long odds when fourth in a Bumper on second start. Now tries hurdles and market should prove informative though clearly does have some ability.

Form: 840-

Lily The Pink⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| BF

7/4

Showed a good attitude when landing a Stratford Bumper last summer and may have been undone by the heavy ground when runner up here in March after a lay off. Interesting newcomer to hurdles now.

Form: 1/612-

Noble Glance⁷⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Matthew Batchelor| T: C Poulton

100/1

No form in three bumpers when last seen in 2017 and hard to make a case for here on hurdling debut after long absence.

Form: 757/

Forecasts

Some Day Soon (10/11), Lily The Pink (7/4), Redemptorist (15/2), Made For You (10/1), Iconic Muddle (16/1), Reeceltic (20/1), Bitofblinding (40/1), Noble Glance (100/1)

SOME DAY SOON bumped into a couple of decent types when last seen in the autumn and providing he is ready to roll after a six months break, he should be able to get off the mark here. Lily The Pink looks the obvious threat on paper now she tries hurdles with Iconic Muddle preferred to the Olly Murphy newcomers.
