4/6

Fair ex-Irish hurdler who didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 12-runner novice at Market Rasen (16.6f) 48 days ago, staying on well. Will stay 2½m and well respected under a penalty.

Is a half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Darling Maltaix and displayed ability in a brace of Huntingdon bumpers earlier in the year. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Related to winners in this sphere and stuck to her task when third of 9 starting out at Ayr in October. In nothing like the same form at Catterick and Newcastle since, though. Up in trip now hurdling.

Forecasts

Marine One (4/6), Ask Henry (2/1), Fortunate Fred (5/1), Redbridge Gold (6/1), Chinese Alphabet (16/1), Nomountainhienough (80/1), Shantou Street (150/1), Rip Van Go (250/1), Unique Company (250/1)

MARINE ONE was strong at the finish in a well-run race at Market Rasen last month, which points to him staying further, so he's fancied to follow up that win. Fortunate Glory showed clear promise in a brace of Huntingdon bumpers earlier in the year, and has to rate a big threat now going hurdling after a wind operation. Ask Henry is a previous winner who remains with potential, so is also feared.
