Hurricane Mitch²⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| BF

13/8

Much improved from his bumper debut when second at Wincanton when last seen. No surprise if he were to make an immediate impact on hurdles bow up in trip.

Form: 52-

Lord Apparelli¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

6/4

Showed plenty in a brace of bumpers last season but proved disappointing on return/hurdles debut at Wetherby (19.7f) 3 weeks ago, making mistakes. Needs to improve.

Presentedwithwings²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

12/1

Fair form in bumpers, shaping well after 29 months off at Huntingdon recently. Worth a look now hurdling up in trip.

Form: 43/4

Rainbow Storm¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

33/1

Shown a bit in bumper/Plumpton novice hurdle and probably one for staying handicaps later on.

Forecasts

Lord Apparelli (6/4), Hurricane Mitch (13/8), Freddie Flip Flop (11/1), Presentedwithwings (12/1), Felton Bellevue (16/1), Magnificent Ben (16/1), Canastero (20/1), Rainbow Storm (33/1), Fitz Well (40/1), Getaway Flyer (80/1), Geordie Washington (100/1)

A pretty thin maiden on paper and HURRICANE MITCH could be well placed to make a winning start over hurdles having improved plenty when second in a Wincanton bumper when last seen. Irish point winner Magnificent Ben is entitled to respect, as is the Venetia Williams' newcomer Freddie Flip Flop.
