Runner-up in Huntingdon bumper on debut and filled the same position first 3 starts over hurdles (fairly useful form). Disappointing in EBF Final when last seen but very much sets the standard.

Modest form only start in bumpers but improved for switch to hurdling/step up in trip when third at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in November. Went backwards 6 weeks later at Chepstow but it remains early days.

Dual-point winner who held on gamely to make successful bumper debut at Worcester last summer. Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter and this step up in trip will suit now hurdling.

Showed a bit on the first of his 3 starts in bumpers and should be suited by this step up in trip now hurdling but improvement required.

Modest maiden hurdler who made little impact last season and is clearly up against it here.

€13,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Illtakeitfromhere (stayed 25f). Won sole start in Irish points (Feb 23). Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Blackfinch (1/3), Call Simon (6/1), Dalkingstown (7/1), Bring The Action (11/1), Craic Magic (11/1), Frankie Baby (16/1), Nessfield Blue (33/1)

Verdict

BLACKFINCH was disappointing in the EBF Final at Kempton when last seen, but he very much sets the standard on his earlier form and should prove hard to beat if seeing out this longer trip. Call Simon and Dalkingstown are a couple of interesting rivals, though.

  1. BLACKFINCH
  2. CALL SIMON (IRE)
  3. DALKINGSTOWN
