8/11
Transformed filly since seeing some hurdles, 3-3 in the discipline with some sharp hurdling, and she still looked like she had more in the tank after latest Stratford win. Penalties are mounting up now, though, so this is no gimme.

3/1
By Balko out of a French 2m3f chase winner, herself a half-sister to useful 2m-2½m chaser Workbench. Certainly bred for the jumping game, and the market will be useful in assessing his readiness.

80/1
Wasn't up to much on the Flat and his hurdles debut at Market Rasen last week was hardly full of promise, didn't jump well and was done by halfway. Change of headgear today, but can only be watched.

12/1
Moderate on the Flat but a much better first effort over hurdles here last month, stuck well to the task to finish fourth to Hiconic, beaten 21l. Gets a huge weight pull today (18lb in his favour), and has chances of stopping Hiconic's win streak.

150/1
Of little account on the Flat and there was no more than a glimmer of ability when well behind Hiconcic on his hurdles debut at Straford last month. A place isn't out of the question if he can jump better today.

Pink Jazz15
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: S Curran
6/1
Rated 59 on the Flat and did win a race, stayed 1m in that sphere and a sharp 2m will suit over hurdles. Good third to Hiconic on Stratford debut two weeks ago and gets another 7lb today, so not out of this if improving a little.

Talking About You30
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-3| J: James Davies| T: S Curran
20/1
Has improved a little in recent outings on the Flat for MIck Channon, only beaten ½l in a claimer at Windsor on latest start and has now joined new yard. Stamina in the family and getting plenty of weight on hurdles debut, isn't dismissed.

Forecasts

Hiconic (8/11), Balko Saint (3/1), Highlander Madrik (11/2), Pink Jazz (6/1), Edebez (12/1), Talking About You (20/1), Billy The Squid (80/1), Fiach Stoney (150/1)

Verdict

Hiconic has done very well to win three early-season juvenile hurdles with some slick jumping, which is once again going to stand her in good stead, but the penalties are starting to rack up, so much so that the services of an apprentice to take some of the weight off are called for. This also looks her hardest task to date in terms of the opposition, and it might be worth taking her on. EDEBEZ gets a big weight pull with Hiconic for his defeat here last month and looks sure to improve, so might be able to turn the tables. Balko Saint and Highlander Madrik are newcomers to note, and neither Flach Stoney nor Talking About You can be dismissed either.
