3/1
Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who won a pair of novice hurdles in the autumn at up to 19.7f. Did too much too soon at Taunton on final outing and has since had a wind op/break. Respected.

2/5
Second at Auteuil (for Guillaume Macaire) and easily went one better at Chepstow. Disappointing next 2 starts but got back on track when ninth of 22 in Fred Winter Juvenile at Cheltenham last time.

Timeform
Hit the frame on both starts in bumpers. Ran a good way below that level on Taunton hurdling debut, but is surely capable of better.
|
Timeform
Well held in bumpers and made mistakes when pulled up on Stratford hurdling debut in October.

Timeform
Well beaten in bumper/Fontwell maiden hurdle. Ran in void race at Plumpton last time (Mar 1). Hooded for 1st time.

6/1
Fairly useful winner on the Flat who showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a Fakenham bumper on debut in February 2019. Off 17 months but still an interesting recruit to hurdling for new yard.

Fair 12f maiden on Flat for Stuart Kittow, but has shaped with no promise either start over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time.

Forecasts

Hell Red (2/5), Celestial Force (3/1), Trailboss (6/1), Rectory Oak (20/1), Siempre Rapido (33/1), All Shook Up (80/1), I'm Notapartygirl (150/1), Thatsentertainment (200/1), The Bolshoi Bandit (200/1), Blackthorn Winter (300/1), Morning Gloria (300/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for HELL RED having got his career back on track with a solid effort in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival last month. His stablemate Celestial Force may have benefited from a wind operation/break and can pose the main threat, though hurdling newcomer Trailboss also warrants consideration.

  1. HELL RED (FR)
  2. CELESTIAL FORCE (IRE)
  3. TRAILBOSS (IRE)
