Runner-up in a point and showed something to work on when fourth in a bumper at Hereford. Well held next time though, and has failed to complete both starts over hurdles since.

In Our Dreams⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph

12/1

More like it second time up in bumpers when fifth at Warwick and should have a future in this sphere.

Rapid Flight²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

11/8

Took a step forward on second start over hurdles when third in 21f maiden at Warwick (21f, good) 28 days ago, though reportedly had breathing problem. Open to further improvement.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: O Signy| OR: 85

11/1

Modest maiden hurdler who is up against on these terms.

Bellatrixsa⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: R T Dunne| T: Miss V Williams

11/10

Progressive stayer on level and has the makings of a potentially useful hurdler having overcome inexperience to land a 2m Huntingdon fillies' juvenile recently. Longer trip should suit. Hard to beat.

Forecasts

Bellatrixsa (11/10), Rapid Flight (11/8), Annual Flavour (11/1), In Our Dreams (12/1), Family Pot (40/1)

BELLATRIXSA has the makings of a useful hurdler judged on her Huntingdon win and should prove hard to beat over this longer trip. Rapid Flight is the obvious threat.
