Pogo I Am⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 112| BF| D

13/8

Fair maiden in bumpers who left behind opening effort over hurdles when a decisive winner at Stratford in July. However, proved a big disappointment when pulled up at Southwell later in the month.

Form: 23/43-1P

Burren Walk^h1²⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

14/1

Related to plenty of winners and made a positive start when third in a course bumper in February 2019. Below that form 11 months on at Doncaster though, and now goes hurdling in a first-time hood.

Form: 3/9-

Daraz Legacy²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: F Brennan

500/1

Schiaparelli mare who was well beaten in a Fontwell novice hurdle on debut last month.

Form: 8

Fivetotwelve²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy

16/1

Midnight Legend mare out of a maiden hurdler/chaser. Offered some encouragement when 9¾ lengths fifth of 8 in a Fakenham bumper sole start last season.

Form: 5-

Flibinight²¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

33/1

Sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Getabird. Shaped okay on Fakenham bumper debut but failed to progress at Newbury next time, despite being well positioned. Off 7 months ahead of hurdle bow.

Form: 69-

Follow That⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David England| T: O Murphy

28/1

From a leading yard but lacks scope and has only managed modest form in a pair of bumpers 6 months apart.

Form: 4-4

Galice Macalo²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 120

4/1

Looked all set to improve on her encouraging hurdle bow when falling last at Aintree in December, narrowly in front at time. Found Doncaster not getting to the bottom of her and may yet do better.

Form: 4F6-

Marada²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/4

Returned from 8 months off to finish placed in Huntingdon listed bumper in December. Has failed to match that form both starts since but she's bred to take to obstacles.

Form: 4/345-

Mini Crest³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

33/1

Has shown some promise in a trio of bumpers this summer ahead of hurdle debut. 1 of 3 hurdling newcomers for Olly Murphy.

Form: 533

Mrs Bailey³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Matthew Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins

200/1

€7,500 Westerner half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Our Joey. Shaped as if in need of the experience when a well-held fourth in a slowly-run Fontwell bumper on last month's debut.

Form: 4

Some Might Say^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland

17/2

Belied market weakness fitted with a hood to make it third time lucky in bumpers at Fontwell in August. Proved a disappointment when well held on hurdling debut there a month later, though.

Form: 45-15

Forecasts

Pogo I Am (13/8), Marada (11/4), Galice Macalo (4/1), Some Might Say (17/2), Burren Walk (14/1), Fivetotwelve (16/1), Follow That (28/1), Mini Crest (33/1), Flibinight (33/1), Mrs Bailey (200/1), Daraz Legacy (500/1)

This looks a good opportunity for GALICE MACALO, who would have likely won at Aintree last season but for falling at the last, and could yet do better. Her biggest threat may come from Marada, who was placed in a listed bumper at Huntingdon and is bred to take to obstacles. Mini Crest is the pick of the Olly Murphy trio before market clues.
