Sunday Break gelding. Dam French 10.5f winner. Irish points winner so much respected hurdling newcomer. Market can guide.
|
11/4, promising second of 12 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good to firm) on NH debut but off track for 18 months. Makes hurdles debut and worth monitoring in betting.
|
20/1, built on debut promsie when fourth of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, heavy). Off 7 months but should have more to offer so must enter calculations.
|
Fair ex-French hurdler. 2/1, raced too freely on yard debut when seventh of 9 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) 7 months ago. Capable of better if he becomes more tractable.
|
25/1, tenderly-handled fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut 7 months ago. Sure to leave that form behind so not to be underestimated.
|
Sixth of 7 in bumper (9/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good to firm) on NH debut 36 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and sort to do better.
|
66/1, sixth of 15 in bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy) 7 months ago for David Dennis. Makes hurdles debut now for new yard and needs to show more.
|
Irish point winner who (20/1) shaped with promise when fifth of 12 in bumper at Kempton (16f, soft) 7 months ago. Makes hurdles debut and much respected for good yard.
|
£95,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Brother to useful A Silent Player, and half-brother to 2 winners, including smart chaser Ackertac. Dam unraced. Lots to like on paper so most interesting newcomer.

Forecasts
Striking A Pose (3/1), Chess Player (10/3), Glajou (9/2), A Distant Place (9/2), Press Your Luck (6/1), Colonel Manderson (9/1), God Knows Why (40/1), Hardy Articos (50/1), Grey Flint (50/1)
A case can be made for most of these but Colin Tizzard's well-bred newcomer STRIKING A POSE is taken to make the perfect start at the chief expense of Glajou who was too keen when only seventh at Taunton on his debut for Paul Nicholls but can be expected to fare better now. Colonel Manderson and God Knows Why are not dismissed lightly either in an intriguing novice hurdle.
