Tiger Orchid⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| BF| D

1/2

Dual bumper winner, didn't take to hurdling right away at Perth 8 weeks ago, his race getting off on a fairly disastrous footing (all but came down first). Open to improvement.

Form: 6U-1415

Magic Venture²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price

22/1

Well held in bumper/novice hurdle 7 months apart and probably one for the longer term.

Form: 9-6

Jersey Lady²³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood| D

7/4

Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers (successful start last season). Half-sister to Burrows Saint and she should do well in this sphere.

Form: 1307-

Forecasts

Tiger Orchid (1/2), Jersey Lady (7/4), Magic Venture (22/1)

JERSEY LADY was a fairly useful winner in bumpers and is bound to take all the beating on hurdling debut. Tiger Orchid's race was over almost before it began at Perth and he could do better at the second attempt.
