Bumper winner who looked a useful prospect in brushing aside his sole rival with ease in a novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f) in March, making and quickening clear. Type to go on improving.

Off mark in points at second attempt but looked one for later on when well held on Worcester hurdle debut 23 days ago. Up in trip.

€26,000 3-y-o, Cloudings gelding. Closely related to modest hurdler My Newbrook Rose, stays 25f, and half-brother to fairly useful chaser Master Neo. Third on Irish point bow (May 3). Wears hood.

€125,000 3-y-o buy who failed to meet expectations in a hood on Huntingdon bumper debut, though wasn't seen to best effect and can do better now hurdling up in trip.

Showed promise on the first of 2 outings in bumpers and did so go again under a considerate ride when fourth on Uttoxeter hurdles debut (25.8f) 27 days ago. Will improve but this is a stronger race.

£60,000 4-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 33f) Nine de Sivola. Won sole start in Irish points and must be taken seriously on NH/yard debut.

Kalanisi gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler Kalashnikov. Held back by greenness but still shaped well when second in a Huntingdon bumper on debut in March. Upped in trip for hurdle bow.

Forecasts

Tamar Bridge (11/10), Hidden Heroics (2/1), Kalmoor (6/1), Storm Of Light (11/1), Wolf Run (12/1), Moore On Tour (25/1), Howzat Hiris (125/1), Gareth Cael (150/1)

Verdict

TAMAR BRIDGE cruised home with loads in hand at Ayr in March, and although the form is not worth a great deal, there is almost certainly better to come from him yet, so he's fancied to defy a penalty. Dan Skelton won this race last year with a useful type so winning pointer Hidden Heroics commands plenty of respect, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Kalmoor is another to note.
