11/4
Too keen and showed nothing on hurdling debut last summer but improved since winning on the Flat over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and ran well in jumpers bumper there when last seen. May have more to offer over hurdles if settling better.

15/2
Similar level of ability when placed in three bumpers but ran poorly only previous try over hurdles at Ludlow in November on soft ground so return to better surface may help her.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: David England| T: O Murphy
14/1
Promise on bumper debut at Newcastle 18 months ago but not in the same form since including two runs over hurdles. Stable in cracking form though may do better in handicaps after this.

7/4
Showed similar form when placed in three bumpers on good ground and heavily backed on hurdles debut in August but not knocked about when 15L third. Clearly thought capable of better and this is a weak looking contest.

Quiet Shy158
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore
50/1
Maiden on the Flat who has a rating of just 36 and needs the switch to hurdles to have a dramatic effect to play a part here.

150/1
Poor form at huge odds in a trio of bumpers and not hard to look elsewhere on belated switch to hurdles.

25/1
Won off 70 over 1m on the Flat when with Mick Channon but was very free on hurdling debut for this stable and no better on Flat subsequently so bit to prove at present.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Reed(3)| T: N P Mulholland
40/1
10 race maiden on the Flat who has yet to reach the frame and looks regressive in that sphere with a rating of just 46. Needs to be transformed by now trying hurdles.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales
11/4
Placed at up to 2m on the Flat for previous trainers and now makes debut over hurdles for another yard. Stamina and ground no problem and if well schooled could make an impact.

Forecasts

Pogo I Am (7/4), Say Nothing (11/4), Cuillin (11/4), Felicidad (15/2), Perfect Grace (10/1), Mighty Meg (14/1), I'lletyougonow (25/1), Lyrical Ballad (40/1), Quiet Shy (50/1), Rose Of Dubai (150/1)

Verdict

POGO I AM was below market expectations on hurdling debut last August but the absence since suggests something may have been amiss and she can make amends in a face that will take little winning. Cuillin has improved on the Flat since her debut over hurdles so no surprise should she leave that form behind and along with Felicidad may chase the selection home.
