£48,000 purchase from a leading yard. Only seventh of 11 in a Southwell bumper on debut 11 months ago but is the type to do better now hurdling up in trip.

Useful on Flat in Germany in 2019. 10/1, fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 9 days ago but in top hands and wouldn't be a surprise him improve plenty on what he's shown.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Red Devil Star. Better effort when sixth on debut at Uttoxeter but had excuses when tailed-off at Newton Abbot last time. Others preferred.

Modest form at best in bumpers but showed nothing starting out for this yard after 16 months off at Newton Abbot last month and was still lit up in a first-time hood on hurdling bow there 13 days ago.

Forecasts

Ranch Hand (4/9), Arcadian Pearl (9/2), Dock Road (17/2), Wavering Down (14/1), Secret Potion (16/1), Fs Lola (200/1)

Verdict

The step up to 2m for the first time this year suited RANCH HAND, as he turned in a career-best performance when scoring in a listed contest at Newmarket 7 weeks ago. This is Andrew Balding's first hurdling debutant in almost 3 years, and he looks set to go close if his jumping stands the test. Dock Road represents leading connections and rates as the main danger, ahead of Arcadian Pearl.

  1. RANCH HAND
  2. DOCK ROAD (IRE)
  3. ARCADIAN PEARL (IRE)
