Well held in bumpers/C&D novice hurdle.

Just modest form in bumper/2 Ludlow hurdles. Probably wants further.

Horse silk
22/1
Well held on hurdles debut over C&D recently and likely to have stamina doubts in this sphere (best up to 7.5f on Flat, and only modest, too).

Horse silk
12/1
Fairly useful maiden on Flat at 3 yrs (stays 1½m). Sold from Andrew Balding only 1,000 gns since last seen but no surprise if he were up to making an impact in this sphere for new yard.

4/11
Fair Flat winner in France and belied market weakness when making successful start over hurdles for yard in C&D event 3 weeks ago, seeing things out well. Open to improvement and hard to oppose.

5/2
Fair ex-Irish maiden on the Flat who shaped with promise when placed both starts over hurdles in November. Well held in jumpers' bumper after 11 weeks off last time and tongue tie goes on.

Forecasts

Tulin (4/11), Castel Gandolfo (5/2), Top Power (12/1), Man Of The Sea (22/1), Monete (33/1), Gamalou D'alene (50/1), Delta River (66/1), Gaelic Thunder (150/1)

Verdict

TULIN created a good impression when making a winning start over hurdles here last month and could be hard to beat in a thin novice if improving on that performance. Top Power is of some interest now jumping despite a long absence, while Castel Gandolfo could yet shine in this sphere.

  1. TULIN
  2. TOP POWER (FR)
  3. CASTEL GANDOLFO (IRE)
