Heavy-ground bumper winner who improved on the back of a wind operation to make third hurdle start a winning one at this course (16.8f) 35 days ago. Capable of better still.

5/2
Good second at Newbury only start in bumpers and went one better under a positive ride in 2m novice here on hurdling debut in December. Better to come so must be taken seriously for an in-form yard.

Struck at the second time of asking in bumpers and looked a good prospect when following up with plenty in hand on Doncaster hurdles debut (16.6f) in January. Sure to progress and win more races.

Highly tried bumper winner for Martyn Meade. Bled on his Ascot hurdle/yard debut but fared a lot better 13 months on when second in introductory event at Newbury (16.3f). Should do better.

Point winner who showed ability when 17¾ lengths fourth of 15 to Orbys Legend in 2m novice here on his completed start over hurdles. Retains potential on first run for new yard.

€16,000 Dylan Thomas gelding who offered something to work on when fifth of 12 in a Doncaster bumper on debut last month, keeping on. Goes hurdling now up in trip and ought to have a future.

Showed clear promise when fifth of 16 in a Warwick bumper on debut last February. Hasn't matched that form in 2 runs over hurdles, but it's possible he'll do better in handicaps in due course.

Forecasts

Solwara One (13/8), Orbys Legend (5/2), Cascova (10/3), Martinhal (4/1), Tamar Bridge (6/1), Norley (33/1), Funky Sensation (50/1), Morfee (150/1), True Spice (200/1), Delahaye Gold (200/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to SOLWARA ONE, who looked one to follow when scoring in convincing fashion on his Doncaster hurdle debut last month. Orbys Legend also has better to come and needs taking seriously for an in-form stable, while Cascova and Martinhal are others with decent claims in an interesting race.

  1. SOLWARA ONE (IRE)
  2. ORBYS LEGEND (IRE)
  3. CASCOVA (IRE)
