€7,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced, closely related to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Fingal Bay. Knew job well when making a winning debut at Catterick in November.
|
€105,000 Fame And Glory gelding but only sixth of 10 in bumper at Southwell on debut in November. Tongue tie on.
|
Showed more than on debut when fourth of 6 in bumper over C&D (standard to slow) 31 days ago, though did have the run of the race.
|
Good second at Sedgefield on debut and was back to a similar level when midfield in C&D event 6 days ago, despite not being seen to best effect. Tongie tie reapplied.
|
Bred to stay well and shaped accordingly when fourth of 16 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, good to soft, 18/1) on debut in November, finishing with running left. Entitled to do better.
|
Placed in Irish points and showed ability when third in a Musselburgh bumper on debut in December. Failed to repeat that effort in similar event last time, but claims if bouncing back.
|
Kayf Tara gelding who was well backed but failed to meet expectations in a Wetherby bumper on sole outing last season. Has since left John Quinn, and clearly thought capable of better.
|
Poor form in bumpers, though shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Wetherby last time.
|
€18,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Queen of Cool and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler All That Remains. Market check.
|
Limited appeal on paper and finished well beaten in a tongue tie on Musselburgh debut in December.
|
£3,000 3-y-o, Enrique gelding. Dam, placed over hurdles, out of 2m-2¼m French hurdle/chase winner Folie Star Gate. Looks best watched.
|
Boasts a good Flat pedigree and lived up to his market billing when scoring on debut over C&D 31 days ago. Open to improvement.
|
Kayf Tara mare who is bred to need a stiffer test.
|
Lost action when pulled up in bumper at Doncaster (13f) on debut in November.

Forecasts
Hackberry (4/1), Rattle Owl (4/1), Grand Du Nord (9/2), All Shook Up (9/2), Full Circle (9/1), Ritson (11/1), Fingal's Hill (11/1), Moonlight Beam (12/1), Creggan White Hare (14/1), Tartan Cookie (66/1), Areyouwithus (80/1), Nightvisitingsong (150/1), That Ships Sailed (250/1), Wearewereweare (250/1)
HACKBERRY ran to only a modest level to make a winning start over C&D last month, but his pedigree suggests there's better to come, so he gets the nod to follow up. Catterick-scorer Fingal's Hill and Grand du Nord should also feature.
- HACKBERRY
- FINGAL'S HILL (IRE)
- GRAND DU NORD (FR)
