Smart on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Andrew Balding, including second in 1½m Newbury Group 3 in October. Subsequently sold for 105,000 gns. Starts out over hurdles in a very winnable race.

16/1, seventh of 13 in bumper at Newbury on debut in March 2019 and not seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Better effort in Exeter novice hurdles last month when remote fifth latterly. Likely she's more one for handicaps.

Forecasts

Natural History (4/6), Loughan (9/4), Gericault Roque (7/2), Barrakhov (22/1), Delta Rose (40/1), Eventful (66/1), Sindabella (125/1), Lep (125/1), African Sun (250/1), Dynamic Kate (250/1), Crowd Of Stars (250/1)

Verdict

Those with hurdle experience don't set the bar high so it's hard to ignore the claims of smart Flat recruit NATURAL HISTORY. Newton Abbot bumper runner-up Gericault Roque could be the one to give him most to do ahead of Dan Skelton's Loughan.
