Some promise in bumpers earlier this year, unsuited by the drop in trip on firmish ground at Fontwell on final start. Will get more of a suitable test now switched to obstacles. Has had a wind op.

Yet to score over hurdles following 8 attempts but again ran creditably in a first-time hood when second in 6-runner novice at Market Rasen (20.6f) 45 days ago. Has had a wind operation since.

Just poor form over hurdles, failing to build on debut promise when only fourth of 8 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good, 28/1) 35 days ago. Up in trip.

Well held on debut but placed in points earlier this year and continued that good work back to Rules for new yard when second in 2m novice here 22 days ago. Up in trip and open to improvement.

Point winner who got straight back on the up following a tame effort at Southwell when second in 13-runner handicap over C&D 34 days ago. Well in the mix if reproducing that in first-time cheekpieces.

Shaped best when second in Cork hunter chase on NH debut in April. Opened account in points later that month and sold for £43,000 but ran to only a poor level on Bangor hurdling debut 19 days ago.

Has an eye-catching pedigree, but well held in a pair of bumpers for Matt Sheppard earlier in the year and showed only a bit sent hurdling in a tongue tie at Bangor 19 days ago. May do better.

Forecasts

Mulberry Hill (11/8), Present Storm (2/1), Fivetotwelve (3/1), Carole's Tzarina (12/1), Bluebell Polka (28/1), Trickalight (33/1), Madalli (100/1), Charyn Canyon (125/1), Polar Light (150/1)

Verdict

MULBERRY HILL shaped with plenty of encouragement after a change of yards when runner-up in a 2m course novice 22 days ago and, with this step up in trip sure to suit, she's a confident selection to go one better. Present Storm rates the main threat ahead of Carole’s Tzarina, who showed some promise in bumpers earlier in the year and will find this sort of test more suitable now hurdling.
