Left a low-key bumper run behind fitted with a tongue tie when runner-up on last month's hurdles debut. and went one better at Newcastle 3 weeks later. The one to beat under a penalty.
|
Distant third in a Bellewstown bumper for Roger McGrath and no better in that sphere for current yard. Hurdles debut.
|
Third on 2 of his 4 starts in bumpers, running to just a modest level. Hurdles debut.
|
Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful chaser Akorakor. Clear White Had wind surgery prior to beating just home in a Newcastle bumper.
|
Showed a bit on Uttoxeter hurdle debut back from nearly 4 years off but well held completed start since.
|
Nayef gelding. Dam 7f-9.7f winner. Bred more for the Flat and well held in a Kelso bumper.
|
Has an uninspiring pedigree and little in the way of promise in a brace of bumpers.
|
Promise when runner-up on first start in a C&D bumper in October That race didn't work out and disappointing himself both starts since, including over hurdles.
|
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Billingsley and offered encouragement when fifth at Wetherby on debut. Shade too keen at Doncaster but should have a future over hurdles.
|
Point winner who shaped with some promise over hurdles but failed to improve for switch to handicaps at Kelso in December. Well held in a jumpers bumper in February.
|
Heavy defeats both starts 15 months apart.
|
Winning pointer who got it right at the third time of asking in bumpers at this track 3 weeks ago. Ought to be very competitive now hurdling in receipt of weight all round.

Forecasts
Dazzling Glory (8/11), Geromino (2/1), North Parade (9/2), Pass Rusher (16/1), Mauritian Bolt (50/1), Cheeky Ches (50/1), Daddyjacks Special (66/1), Harry Go (125/1), Arena Star (150/1), Ribeye (200/1), Faraday Effect (200/1), Hardies Hill (250/1)
GEROMINO looked very comfortable back at 2m when getting off the mark over hurdles at Newcastle a fortnight ago and he may well be up to defying a penalty. Conversely, Dazzling Glory receives weight all round and has her share of ability given she's already won a point and a bumper, so she is the obvious threat.

- DAZZLING GLORY (IRE)
