14/1
0-6 in points and has run to only a modest level in a pair of novice hurdles 4 months apart. Handicaps over further will be more his bag.

25/1
Fair on Flat in Scandinavia (stays 1½m), and made a pleasing start over hurdles for new yard when second at Musseburgh in February. Ran poorly 5 months on at Uttoxeter, though.

5/6
Fairly useful bumper winner for Fergal O'Brien who was well backed and made a winning start over hurdles for her new yard at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Open to improvement.

Fairly useful bumper winner (for Ben Case) who looks a good hurdling prospect. Tongue strap on.

Well held all 3 starts on Flat so easily passed over on hurdle bow.

25/1
Temperamental but fairly useful on Flat, stays 9f. Went with little fluency at Hamiton last time and perhaps best watched on this switch to obstacles.

40/1
Useful-looking mare who was a good second at Kelso on her sole start in bumpers. Was well held switched to hurdling over C&D last month but shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off.

14/1
Fairly useful on Flat in France, successful twice in 2019 (stays 1½m). Would have gone close on hurdles bow for new yard at Musselburgh in January but for falling heavily last. Worth considering.

Forecasts

Mrs Hyde (5/6), Stoner's Choice (13/8), Don't Need To Know (14/1), Winfola (14/1), Modakhar (25/1), Magnum (25/1), Bowderek (40/1), The Great Georgie (80/1), Detective (125/1)

Verdict

STONER'S CHOICE boasts some tidy bumper form and has the potential to make into an above-average jumper, so he's taken to make successful hurdling debut at the expense of Southwell-scorer Mrs Hyde. Winfola and Bowderek look best of the rest.

  1. STONER'S CHOICE
  2. MRS HYDE (IRE)
  3. WINFOLA (FR)
