Little River Bay¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 128

4/11

Well-related Shirocco filly who left her hurdling debut form 9 months earlier well behind when scoring in good style at Wincanton (15.3f) 19 days ago. Open to further improvement up in trip.

Form: 53-1

Burren Walk^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

11/2

Showed promise on the first of 2 outings in bumpers nearly a year apart and did the same sent hurdling in a hood when fourth at Warwick (2m) on return. Not so good at Exeter last time, though.

Form: 3/9-46

Glasha's Peak³⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

10/1

Showed a bit in a brace of bumpers but made a discouraging debut in this sphere when pulled up here 13 months ago. Since left Alan King.

Form: 45/P-

Rapaport^h⁶⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: T Bulgin

28/1

Winning pointer who showed modest form when in the frame both starts in bumpers in 2018/19. Most likely best watched now going hurdling after a long absence.

500/1

Form: P

Shoot To Fame^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe

10/1

Modest form in two bumpers and looks more of a handicap project over hurdles on early evidence.

Form: 5136-57

Forecasts

Little River Bay (4/11), Meep Meep Mag (3/1), Shore Shanty (7/2), Burren Walk (11/2), Glasha's Peak (10/1), Shoot To Fame (10/1), Cateline (25/1), Rapaport (28/1), Saucy Sindy (500/1)

LITTLE RIVER BAY left her hurdling debut form well behind when scoring in good style at Wincanton 19 days ago, and with the promise of more to come up in trip, she looks capable of defying a penalty. Shore Shanty was found a weak race on her Ludlow hurdle debut, but nevertheless ought to remain competitive, with David Pipe's bumper-winner Meep Meep Mag appealing as best of the rest.
