3/1
Winning pointer who improved again to open his account at the third attempt over hurdles in a 21f novice at Warwick. Well beaten on Hereford handicap bow subsequently but claims if bouncing back.

Contested a slowly-run bumper on debut that's working out badly. Showed a bit more than on Catterick hurdling debut at Huntingdon last time, but still has something to learn.

Winning pointer at fifth attempt. No better than mid-field in a couple of bumpers but showed more sent hurdling when second of 16 in 21.2f Wetherby novice 2 weeks ago. Entitled to progress.

Forecasts

Hollymount Holly (15/8), Wheesht (3/1), Trump Lady (3/1), Robin Des Smoke (5/1), Hello Sunshine (20/1), Mon Petit Cheri (22/1), Familiar Spirit (40/1), Ferny Knap (80/1), Mis Casey (300/1)

Verdict

ROBIN DES SMOKE showed a good deal more than she had in a couple of bumpers when runner-up on her Wetherby hurdling bow a fortnight ago and is entitled to progress again, so she's put forward as the answer. Trump Lady and Hollymount Holly both have a bit to prove after running poorly on their last starts, but need respecting nonetheless.
