Baltic Baron²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd| T: B Ellison

16/1

Fairly useful 1m winner on the level. 4/1, shaped encouragingly on his hurdling debut when fifth in Sedgefield novice in August. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5

Bari Breeze²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| D

5/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who (2/1) made a promising debut over hurdles when second of 3 in novice at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. He sets a good standard.

Form: 4/4312

Jamih^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss T Jackson

200/1

Modest 10f Flat winner but he found little when tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on for his hurdling bow.

Form:

Pearl Warrior^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

9/2

Fair 12f Flat winner but he beat only one in handicap at York 42 days ago. Goes over hurdles now with tongue strap fitted.

Form:

Storm Lorenzo¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies

9/2

Ex-Irsh gelding who shaped well on yard/hurdling debut when staying-on second of 6 in novice at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. Can do better now, so well in the mix.

Form: P/088U-2

Collaborating^h,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville

66/1

Fair 9f Flat winner. 50/1, well held on yard/hurdling bow in Listowel maiden last month. Hood on now with lots more required.

Form: 0

Minella Plus¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

5/1

Fair form when placed both runs in bumpers, second of 9 at Bangor (16.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Much respected now making his hurdles debut for in-form yard.

Form: 532

Well Planted²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Craig Nichol| T: J & S Quinn

25/1

Modest 12f winner on the level. Only ninth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f) 28 days ago, but not discounted sent hurdling now.

Form:

Gloryella^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: B Rothwell

300/1

Poor maiden on the Flat. Cheekpieces on for debut in this sphere and others are preferred.

Form:

Misty Mani¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Callum Bewley| T: P D Niven

80/1

125/1, better effort over hurdles when fifth of 7 in novice here (19.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Needs another step forward if she's to figure, though.

Form: 326-95

Fulbeck Girl^t¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: L Morgan

28/1

Modest maiden on Flat for Ian Williams, seen out just once this term when below par in June. Tongue strap on for new yard sent hurdling.

Form:

Salsada⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison

2/1

Useful 10f Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe in 2020. Not disgraced only run this summer when seventh in listed race at Newmarket (12f) but refused to enter stalls since. Goes hurdling now for new yard.

Form:

Forecasts

Salsada (2/1), Storm Lorenzo (9/2), Pearl Warrior (9/2), Minella Plus (5/1), Bari Breeze (5/1), Baltic Baron (16/1), Well Planted (25/1), Fulbeck Girl (28/1), Collaborating (66/1), Misty Mani (80/1), Jamih (200/1), Gloryella (300/1)

BARI BREEZE showed up well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Newton Abbot so this fairly useful bumper scorer is taken to go one better now. Donald McCain's Minella Plus was placed on both his bumper runs and rates a threat now sent hurdling while Storm Lorenzo appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
