4/9
Irish point winner who overcame greenness to land 19.7f Wetherby novice hurdle with plenty in hand on return. Similar form in defeat since and he's of obvious interest in this field.

66/1
Showed plenty of promise when runner-up on only start in bumpers, but not a great deal of short-term encouragement to glean from pair of novice/maiden hurdle exploits subsequently.

Point winner who left his bumper debut effort in his wake when a keeping on second in a course bumper (17.7f) last month. No reason why he won't make his mark over hurdles.

Forecasts

Valleres (4/9), Little Awkward (5/2), Ozzie Man (8/1), Albert Hucklebuck (66/1), Yashims Girl (250/1), Multistory (250/1)

Verdict

A winner of a course bumper last summer, LITTLE AWKWARD looked most professional when making a winning hurdles debut at Plumpton in December, the way he travelled/jumped impressive. There's likely more to come and he can continue the good work. Valleres, who sets the standard on form, is the lead threat, ahead of hurdles-debutant Ozzie Man.
