Still to get off the mark after nine attempts but has caught the eye on more than one occasion, and ability ot win a race of this nature is definitely there. Latest third at Uttoxeter is a decent enough effort and a repeat of it gives her chances.
Some signs of promise in novice hurdles last season but was pulled up (sent off a 50-1 chance) for a similar handicap at Uttoxeter last month, and needs the first-time visor to have a major effect.
Selling winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding last August, after which he was bought by current connections but no immediate promise in four hurdles starts last year, and having not been seensince December, is likely to need the run regardless.
Was well backed on latest start at Newton Abbot and only found one too good, so that goes down as a decent effort, and he should have conditions to suit here as well. Yard having a few winners and no reason why he shouldn't run his race here.
Not without ability on the Flat for David Simcock but only won the once, and he's not set the world alight for current conncetions over hurdles as yet. Well beaten at Southwell on latest start and makes only limited appeal here.
Only two wins in 48 starts is a bit offputting but he travelled as well as anything at Uttoxeter on his reappearance and basically didn't stay the 20f trip. Back to 2m today is going to be a big help, and if building on that, has chances here.
Definite signs of ability in maiden/novice company last year but most disappointing on handicap debut last December, Possible heavy ground there didn't suit, and with the handicapper dropping him 5lb, and better ground today, he could do better.
Wins her share for one with her limited ability, and is far more consistent than most here. Nothing wrong with her close fifth at Southwell on her reappearance and she should strip fitter for that. Conditions fine, and one to consider.
Yet to so much as hit the frame in 14 starts and looks very limited already. Well held in two starts this season and no reason to expect a lot better here, despite a drop in grade.
Thrown in on the best of his (improved) Flat form of last year but a bit disappointing that he couldn't do better at Southwell last time out. Still early days over hurdles and he's simply too well handicapped to throw out at this stage.
Just the one placing in nine hurdles starts so far, but there's a bit of ability in there and if the switch of headgear helps him jump better then he could improve. Not disgraced over C&D last time and jockey booking catches the eye too.
Falling back down towards a winning mark and should strip fitter after an outing on the Flat at Doncaster two weeks ago where she was readily outclassed. Trip and likely ground fine, and a good showing isn't out of the question.
Just two wins in 46 starts and very much on the downgrade as he reaches the veteran stage of his career. Not seen out since February either and this simply looks too tough a task.
Forecasts
Seaborn (6/4), Musical Stardust (4/1), Carpool (13/2), Court In Matera (15/2), Sellingallthetime (9/1), Knight Commander (10/1), Sweeping Rock (20/1), Flutiste (33/1), Queen's Soldier (33/1), Rock On Aussie (50/1), Hypnos (66/1), Mood For Mischief (66/1), Jaxlight (80/1)
KNIGHT COMMANDER caught the eye at Uttoxeter on his reappearance last month, travelling well and simply not staying the trip as he faded out of things late. Dropped back to 2m here, and with that under his belt, he can get on the scoresheet. Sellingallthetime ran better at Newton Abbot and hails from a yard going well, so is rated the danger. Court In Matera is a dnager to all if jumping with a bit more fluency in the visor. Seaborn could drop this lot off this mark but that was the case last time too, and he disappointed. Watch the market is the advice for him. Flutiste
- Knight Commander
- Sellingallthetime
- Court In Matera
