Fantastic Rock³²

Form: 26F/822-

High Sheriff⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson

50/1

Showed a good deal more than in bumpers sent hurdling in a first-time hood when fourth in maiden hurdle at Navan (15.6f) in February, but has since been sold cheapy.

Form: 704-

Journey West²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C A McBratney

Modest form when down the field on completed starts in maiden hurdles. Sizeable step forward needed.

66/1

Form: P0/P-

Tartan Cookie⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans

22/1

Steadily progressive in bumpers and is bred to be suited by this sort of test over hurdles. Not ruled out.

Form: 553-

Upandatit^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander

12/1

Well held in bumpers but fair form over hurdles, shaping like a stayer both starts, so this longer trip is a plus.

Form: 33/8835-

Wowsham²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 114

11/8

Fair form when reaching the frame in a trio of maiden hurdles since joining this yard, including when third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 443-

Castle Island¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Alain Cawley| T: C A McBratney| OR: 83

150/1

No impact in 4 maiden hurdles.

Forecasts

Fantastic Rock (10/11), Wowsham (11/8), Upandatit (12/1), Journey West (22/1), Tartan Cookie (22/1), Well Cliche (40/1), Ceejaythedeejay (50/1), High Sheriff (50/1), Martalink (66/1), Dunnottar Castle (125/1), Soivegotachance (150/1), Castle Island (150/1), Penny River (250/1)

WOWSHAM has shown enough on all 3 of his starts over hurdles to suggest he can win a race of this nature so he's narrowly preferred to Fantastic Rock, who has done little wrong but is proving expensive to follow. Tartan Cookie is bred to be suited by this sort of test and not ruled out either.
