Horse A-Z
Fair and lightly-raced maiden on the Flat. Made a fairly promising start over hurdles for new yard after 11 months off at Ffos Las and could progress upped in trip now.

Well held in bumpers. Hard to fancy on hurdles debut.

Useful stayer on the Flat for Simon Crisford and placed once more in this sphere at Southwell (2m) 3 weeks ago. Longer trip should suit and well worth considering.

17/2
Bred to need time and distance but showed plenty when third at Newbury on debut in January. Disappointing at Hereford a month later but could easily get back on the up now hurdling for new yard.

6/1
Made the frame in handicap hurdles at Fontwell and Wincanton earlier this year but rather lost his way after and left Philip Hobbs. New yard in form and not ruled out if he stays.

4/1
Fair bumper winner who was second in 21.2f Ludlow novice hurdle last autumn. Held in 3m Kempton handicap next time but returns 7 months on in winnable maiden if she's ready to go.

Dual point winner but didn't really kick on over hurdles for Lawney Hill and has had a wind op ahead of this first run for new yard after 9 months off.

Forecasts

Percy's Word (4/5), Crystal Gazing (4/1), Zafar (6/1), Saturday Song (17/2), King's Counsel (10/1), Hot To Trot (66/1), Liquidiser (200/1)

Verdict

PERCY'S WORD suffered another short-priced defeat at Southwell 3 weeks ago but pulled clear of the third and has the best form on offer. The step up in trip should suit and he's worth another chance. Saturday Song is interesting starting out for Alan King, while Crystal Gazing has a chance if ready to go.
