Modest in bumpers, but has improved in this sphere following a wind op, winning Hexham maiden before going like best horse at the weights in a competitive handicap at Market Rasen. The one to beat.
|
Fairly useful winner on Flat, stays 2½m. Johnson booked for hurdle bow and must be respected.
|
Fair bumper winner who has run to a similar level both outings over hurdles, fourth of 13 at Fontwell (19.2f) latest. Remains open to improvement but this drop back in trip is a concern.
|
Well held in bumpers and pulled up on Stratford hurdling debut in July.
|
Offered little on Fontwell hurdle debut in August, but has scored on the Flat since, so may so better on this second try at hurdling.
|
Free-going sort who won a Fontwell bumper in early 2019. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling at Uttoxeter 15 days ago and capable of improving if he becomes more tractable.
|
Not seen to best effect in a messy bumper at Fontwell on debut last month and may do better now jumping.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat but off 17 months ahead of this switch to hurdling. Market can point the way.
|
Modest bumper winner but has run below that level both starts over hurdles 18 months apart.
|
Modest form at best on Flat and tailed off on Fontwell hurdle debut in December. Has had a wind operation since last seen.
|
Fair Flat performer who was considerately handled when 24 lengths third of 8 on last month's hurdle bow at Fontwell. Should do better but possibly one for handicaps later on.
|
Is out of a 2m hurdle winner but has shown just poor form on the Flat.

Forecasts
Pisgah Pike (4/6), Hugos Other Horse (3/1), Atomic Jack (7/1), Only Money (12/1), Peace Prevails (14/1), Cherry Cola (16/1), Jumping Cats (40/1), Rainbow Storm (40/1), Thinque Tank (50/1), Conchita (80/1), Joint Account (200/1), Invincible Sea (200/1), Urban Scene (200/1)
PISGAH PIKE sets a decent standard back in novice company so he's fancied to defy a penalty. The booking of Richard Johnson suggests a good run is expected of fairly useful Flat recruit Atomic Jack, while it is worth remembering Only Money beat some good horses in a Fontwell bumper and could leave his opening effort over hurdles behind if becoming more tractable. Hugos Other Horse is also feared.
