Useful stayer on Flat for Jamie Osborne. Ran badly in a jumpers bumper last time but entitled to improve on his hurdling debut fourth at Taunton when let down by his jumping.
|
Fifth behind a couple of very good novices at Chepstow and again showed ability when midfield in a maiden at Southwell 16 days ago, not knocked about. Remains with potential.
|
Appeals as a longer-term project.
|
Has made an excellent start to career in bumpers, confirming promise of debut third when winning 8-runner event at Hereford last time. Nice prospect for hurdling.
|
Has looked a stayer in bumpers/over hurdles but coped better than expected with a test of speed in a jumpers bumper at Kempton last time.
|
Has yet to show any ability.
|
Camelot gelding who had a wind operation prior to running in a void race at Plumpton on March 1st.
|
Runner up in a point and filled same spot first 3 starts under Rules, shaping well behind a useful sort on Ffos Las hurdles debut. Not so good 3 months on at Doncaster but worth another chance.
|
Failed to make an impact starting out in a bumper at Ascot in November and was too keen for his own good on Newbury hurdling debut subsequently.
|
Little show in bumpers and fared no better for the switch to hurdling at Taunton. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
|
Big prices and beaten a long way all 3 bumper outings.

Forecasts
Truckers Pass (10/11), Sandy Brook (13/8), Scarpia (6/1), Jersey Wonder (12/1), Numbers Man (20/1), Rocco Du Berlais (66/1), Who Is That (100/1), Spectaculardisplay (150/1), Shybairnsgetnowt (200/1), Mis Casey (250/1), Worth Knowing (250/1)
SANDY BROOK has created a good impression in bumpers and gets the nod to strike at the first attempt over hurdles. Truckers Pass chased home a useful one in a good time on his Ffos Las hurdling debut back in October, so would be a big threat if returning to a similar level. Scarpia is pick of the remainder.
