Good second behind Bear Ghylls on debut in a Warwick bumper and went one place better on return/hurdles bow over C&D last month, asserting approaching the last. Sound claims under a penalty.
|
Poor maiden on Flat for Peter Hiatt but did show some aptitude for this job when fifth in a Doncaster novice (16.5f) in February. Entitled to improve but handicaps likely to be more his bag.
|
All set to make it third time lucky when falling last at Fakenham on New Year's Day and confidence seemed an issue back there later that month, his jumping not holding up. Still, not one to write off.
|
Al Namix gelding who bettered previous efforts when running out a 5-length winner of a 4-y-o chase contest at Pau (18.4f) in January. Joined a good yard ahead of UK debut and market should guide.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m) who offered a bit on second hurdle start for new yard at Market Rasen (16.5f) 10 days ago. Type to do better once sent handicapping.
|
Point winner who was strong in the betting and offered plenty to work on when 4 lengths third in a Fontwell bumper (17.7f) in September, the slowly-run race no use to him. Interesting now hurdling.
|
Fairly useful form when reaching the frame on all 3 outings in bumpers. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling on the back of a wind operation.
|
£60,000 5-y-o. Dam point winner, half-sister to fair hurdler (2½m winner) What A Riddle. Runner-up in 2 Irish points and he's one to note in betting starting out under Rules for good yard.
|
Useful at up to 2m on the Flat for Simon Crisford and promise both starts over hurdles 21 months apart, runner-up in a Perth novice (2m) in September. Can get involved with a repeat.
|
Sulamani half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Whisperinthebreeze (2m-21f winner). Off mark in Irish points at third attempt last time (Feb 2019) and the market should guide now hurdling
|
Fame And Glory filly. Dam (h114), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Double Double. Likely best watched on racecourse bow.
|
Warm order in the betting when runner-up in a Stratford bumper in July 2019 for Fergal O'Brien. Left that yard after and well held in bumper/pair of maiden hurdles for this trainer. Can only watch.

Forecasts
Guard Your Dreams (11/10), Percy's Word (9/4), Llandinabo Lad (6/1), Gemirande (11/1), Minella Drama (12/1), Grizzman (16/1), Bran (40/1), Silver In Disguise (80/1), Bayaanaat (200/1), Happy And Content (250/1), Hit The Bottle (300/1), Geomatrician (300/1)
GUARD YOUR DREAMS paid a big compliment to his Warwick conqueror Bear Ghylls when making a winning return on hurdles debut over C&D last month and, with potential for better still moving forward, he earns the vote to follow up and defy a penalty. Percy's Word has seemingly been hard to train but has plenty of ability and is feared, along with Llandinabo Lad and Bran.
