2/1

Shirocco gelding who made the frame first 2 starts in bumpers in the spring and made the most of good opportunity to get off the mark here (16.7f) 10 days ago. Entitled to make his mark over hurdles.

Form: 4/431

Fifrelet¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams

4/9

Landed a Warwick bumper on debut in 2019 and clearly retains all his ability, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when gamely landing a Worcester bumper (2m) 2 weeks ago. Interesting now hurdling.

Form: 1/21

Spiritus Mundi³²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 86

25/1

Limited impact over hurdles to date, finding little when well held on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.6f) back in November. Best watched on return from 10 months off.

Form: 900P/69-

Forecasts

Fifrelet (4/9), Bari Breeze (2/1), Spiritus Mundi (25/1)

FIFRELET showed a willing attitude when making it 2-3 in bumpers at Worcester 2 weeks ago, setting solid foundations for a switch to hurdling, and he gets the nod to continue the good work now his attentions are switched to timber. Fellow hurdles debutant Bari Breeze is fancied to give him most to think about.
