9/2
Some promise in bumper here and again in maiden/novice hurdles. Will likely need more time.

Form is just modest and he pulled very hard back under Rules for this yard in Newbury novice hurdle earlier this month. That should have blown the cobwebs away at least and this is easier.

Fairly useful form in initial bumpers but well held in Southwell maiden hurdle and AW jumpers' bumper fitted with a tongue tie (now off) the last twice.

8/15
Winning pointer who has made a promising start over hurdles, second in C&D novice and Southwell maiden in recent weeks. Looks all over a stayer but should be taking a race like this.

Promise initially in bumpers for Ben Pauling and shaped well on hurdles debut at Southwell (2m) for new yard 3 weeks ago, not knocked about. Tongue tie on now and should improve.

Little impact in bumpers/novice hurdles, though caught the eye at Taunton (19f) last week, not given at all a hard time. Market support would be interesting.

Forecasts

Drakes Well (8/15), Bembridge (9/2), Wireless Operator (6/1), Castledhem (8/1), Mr Yeats (66/1), Big 'n Better (100/1)

Verdict

DRAKES WELL sets a high standard and should be hard to beat. Wireless Operator ran a promising race first time up over hurdles for Olly Murphy at Southwell and looks the obvious danger, though market support for Taunton eye-catcher Mr Yeats would be interesting.

  1. DRAKES WELL (IRE)
  2. WIRELESS OPERATOR (IRE)
  3. MR YEATS (IRE)
