Modest form at best in bumpers and given a considerate introduction to hurdling when 28½ lengths fifth of 12 in a novice at Newcastle 32 days ago.
|
€105,000 Fame And Glory gelding who hinted at ability when sixth of 11 in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 80/1) 28 days ago, not knocked about.
|
300/1, better signs when fourth of 11 in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 28 days ago, finishing with running left, and may improve again.
|
Well beaten on only start in bumpers and in need of the experience on Newton Abbot hurdle debut last month, racing freely and bad mistake third.
|
Unplaced in 2 bumpers/completed start over hurdles. Blinkers on for the 1st time for this first start in 6 months.
|
Just modest form when runner-up standout effort in bumpers, but is bred to have a future over hurdles.
|
Of no account.
|
Third on sole completed start in Irish points in 2019 and filled same spot in a 2m Huntingdon maiden on second hurdle outing in March. Open to further progress.
|
200/1, showed first form under Rules when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 28 days ago.
|
Has yet to show any ability under Rules.
|
Seemed unsuited by track but still showed ability when sixth of 14 in a bumper at Stratford (16.3f, soft) on debut 47 days ago, finishing with running left. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Knight Bachelor, but looks one for the longer term on early evidence.
|
Sans Frontieres mare. Dam (h119), 19f hurdle winner, sister to ungenuine but useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Forpadydeplasterer. Unplaced sole start in Irish points (Sep 20).
|
Bred to have ability but has offered little in bumpers and ran to just a poor level on Market Rasen hurdling debut.
|
Forecasts
Nashville Nipper (6/5), Sammeo (3/1), Highland Parc (8/1), All Shook Up (17/2), Akentrick (12/1), Thatsentertainment (16/1), Blackthorn Winter (16/1), Fenney Brook (25/1), Lady P (50/1), Miss Bamby (66/1), Thomas Kershaw (80/1), French De Guye (125/1), Eairsidh (150/1), Mighty Mustang (150/1)
NASHVILLE NIPPER improved when third to a subsequent winner at Huntingdon last time, so has to be considered the one to beat with further progress on the cards. Sammeo offered enough in a Stratford bumper to warrant consideration on this switch to hurdling, while Blackthorn Winter may do better again now he's seemingly on the right path.
- NASHVILLE NIPPER (IRE)
- SAMMEO (FR)
