Unlucky to bump into a Southern raider from a top yard in a Hexham bumper on debut in September, so worth a look now stepping up in trip for hurdle debut.

Modest bumper performer who left his hurdling debut form behind when fourth in 2m novice here 14 days ago. Steps up in trip now and needs to prove that doesn't flatter him.

€26,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Gold Patrol, stays 3¼m, and half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Thebannerkingrebel. Market can guide on debut.

Useful stayer on Flat. Went with a bit more promise than on debut in this sphere when third at Market Rasen (20.6f) and can do better again if brushing on his jumping. Tongie tie/cheekpieces on.

Winning pointer who showed second time up over hurdles when fourth in a Sedgefield novice (16.8f) last month, but is probably one for handicaps later on.

Cost plenty but just minor promise in bumpers and on Kelso hurdling debut in October, shaping as though in need of the run. Should do better in time.

Just modest form in bumpers but took well enough to hurdling when second in a Newcastle maiden (20.3f) last month. That was a weak race, though.

Modest form in bumpers, shaping like a stayer when fourth here final start, so this longer trip a plus now hurdling for all that improvement is required.

Forecasts

Moon King (10/11), Alright Sunshine (15/8), La Mystere (2/1), Diamond State (11/1), Goodtimes Badtimes (14/1), Tara Kay (16/1), Cochisee (18/1), Morningside (25/1), Enemenemynemo (33/1), Style Nelson (40/1)

Verdict

ALRIGHT SUNSHINE is a likeable and enthusiastic sort who has displayed useful form in bumpers and on the Flat more recently, so he makes plenty of appeal on this switch to hurdling. Moon King may improve again if brushing up on his jumping, with Irish point recruit Enemenemynemo next on the list.
