Muhtathir half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pennymart (17f winner). Fair form over hurdles winning 9-runner claimer at Pau (18.9f) in May. Acquired for €9,000 since and not ruled out.

Bumper winner who progressed in staying handicaps on the Flat. Continued good work to land a Sedgefield maiden hurdle (16.8f) in October and he's a likely player with further progress anticipated.

Fair performer on Flat (stays 16.5f). More miss than hit this hit during light 2020 campaign but yard enjoy success in this sphere and worth a precautionary market check.

Twice-raced winner in points who offered something to work on without being seen to best effect when fourth in a Sedgefield bumper (16.8f) last month. May do better longer term over jumps.

2-2 in bumpers last winter but limited impact in handful of starts on the level this summer. Not out of the question he will get back on track now tackling timber.

Winning pointer who shaped better than being pulled up suggests on Rules/hurdles bow at Fontwell (19.2f) in October, dropping away late on. Type to do better in this sphere.

Good second on third start in bumpers and better for hurdling debut when 1-length winner of a Sedgefield mares' novice (19.8f) last month. This rates tougher but she holds claims of hitting the frame.

Dam dual 2m4f hurdle winner, closely related to useful 2m3f-2m6f hurdle winner Accordello. Showed ability when hitting the frame in pair of Perth bumpers this summer, Market should guide now hurdling.

Verdict

STROMIN NORMAN has proved prolific in staying handicaps on the Flat and got his hurdles career off to the perfect start when landing a Sedgefield maiden last month. Open to improvement, he's fancied to prove up to defying a penalty. Frimeur de Lancray showed ability last term and is interesting on the back of wind surgery. Penpal and Blakeney Point complete the shortlist.

  1. STORMIN NORMAN
  2. FRIMEUR DE LANCRAY (FR)
  3. PENPAL (FR)
