Fishkhov⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: H Fry| BF

5/4

Picked up for £115,000 after finishing second in a maiden point in December 2019. Well-fancied but asked to do far too much early when fourth in Uttoxeter bumper. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Form: 2-4

Pennyforapound⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

6/4

Ex-pointer who showed a bit before seemingly going amiss on Wetherby hurdling bow. Much more like it when second over C&D since, even if he was flattered by his proximity to the easy winner.

Form: 1/1-52

Representing Bob⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

20/1

€45,000 Presenting gelding. Dam dual bumper winner. Shaped like a stayer when sixth of 13 in a Southwell bumper on debut, so this longer trip a positive now hurdling.

Form: 6

Salopian Boy⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams

33/1

Has yet to complete over hurdles, taking little interest at Haydock last time.

Form: UP

Supervisor²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

9/2

Showed a bit in a pair of bumpers back in 2018/19. Improved on his hurdles debut form when second at Hereford (19.7f) 4 weeks ago, left behind by winner straight but long way clear of rest.

Form: 54/7-2

Miss Tara Moss³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

Kayf Tara mare who has shown definite signs of ability in a pair of novice hurdles and is bred to be suited by this step up in trip, so not ruled out in an ordinary-looking contest.

Form: 75

Forecasts

Fishkhov (5/4), Pennyforapound (6/4), Supervisor (9/2), Miss Tara Moss (16/1), Representing Bob (20/1), Salopian Boy (33/1), Chance Finale (66/1), Annahalla Rebel (200/1), Currabeha Hill (250/1)

FISHKHOV shaped much better than the result in a Uttoxeter bumper, having been asked to do far too much early, so he looks the way to go making a quick switch to hurdling in an ordinary-looking contest. Pennyforapound was much improved when runner-up over C&D in November and can provide the main threat ahead of Representing Bob.
