€210,000 3-y-o who is a brother to useful hurdler Constantine Bay (19f-3m winner). Shaped as if in need of the experience when midfield on Huntingdon hurdle debut and will do better in time.
|
Failed to complete on 2 of his 3 starts between the flags, and well held completed start over hurdles.
|
Promise in bumpers and fairly useful form when runner-up all 3 outings over hurdles, the latest over this C&D 11 days ago. May well go one better this time.
|
Ex-pointer who achieved more than first time up over hurdles when fifth at Huntingdon in November but looks the type to do best as a chaser down the line.
|
Placed all 3 starts in points in 2018 but well held in a bumper/maiden hurdle under Rules.
|
Point winner who has shown fairly useful form in this sphere, making the frame all 5 starts. Ran below that level sent chasing at Stratford but big chance now back hurdling after a break/wind op.
|
Famous Name gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners on Flat, including smart/unreliable 5f/6f winner Croisultan. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Maiden pointer, made frame last time (Dec 13).
|
Well held in a brace of bumpers and now goes hurdling up in trip in first-time cheekpieces.
|
In need of the experience sole start in bumpers and still looks a work in progress over hurdles, well-beaten fourth of 12 in a Hereford maiden hurdle last time.
|
Looked smart prospect when landing back-to-back Exeter bumpers in 2017/18. Very lightly raced since and went backwards from his reappearance at Uttoxeter last time. Wears first-time hood/tongue tie.
|
Maiden pointer who was well held fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap in a Stratford bumper on Rules debut in June 2018.
|
Winged Love mare who showed nothing making a belated Rules debut at Bangor 6 days ago.

CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM has already burnt plenty of fingers in-running in his short career to date, but with his latest effort backed up by the clock, he's given one more chance to get the job done. The well-bred Red Lion Lad is open to a good deal of improvement and is feared most ahead of the returning Firak.
