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.

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.

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.

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)

Verdict

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.
