Useful on Flat in Germany and perfect start to hurdles career when seeing off 12 rivals at Ludlow (15.8). Build on that when second in Grade 2 Dovecote since and open to further improvement.

7/2
Looked useful when easily justifying market support in 2m Fakenham maiden on hurdle debut/reappearance. No match for Cadzand over C&D next time but that form still reads well.

£62,000 3-y-o, Noroit gelding who looked badly in need of the experience when making only late gains in 15.8f Ludlow maiden on debut 18 days ago. Should do better.

Fair on Flat but below best in that sphere in 2020 and has shown nothing both hurdle starts.

Modest in bumpers for Tom Symonds. Ran below that level on Wincanton hurdling debut/reappearance, but still offered something to work on and should do better in due course.

Dam half-sister to useful hurdler (17f winner) Counsel. Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat for Saeed bin Suroor in 2019, well held in handicap on stable bow last time. Market can guide now hurdling.

Flemensfirth gelding who shaped with promise when fifth of 12 in novice at Newbury (16.3f) on hurdling debut 3 weeks ago, going with enthusiasm. Will improve.

Not devoid of appeal on paper, but looks one for the longer term on early evidence.

Well held in bumper/both starts over hurdles.

Forecasts

Calico (1/4), Twominutes Turkish (7/2), Moore Margaux (7/1), Duke Of Earl (40/1), Just Toby (50/1), Rally Driver (66/1), Military Tactic (100/1), Gold Leader (125/1), Zip Pearl (250/1), Helovaplan (300/1)

Verdict

CALICO built on his Ludlow debut win when second in the Grade 2 Dovecote at Kempton 15 days ago and sets a clear standard on that form back down in grade. Twominutes Turkish and Moore Margaux can battle it out for minor honours.

  1. CALICO (GER)
  2. TWOMINUTES TURKISH (IRE)
  3. MOORE MARGAUX (IRE)
