13/2
Bumper winner and a fair maiden on the Flat, ran to a similar level in making a successful debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot in September. Bred to do better still in this sphere.

Showed a lot more than in 2 bumpers when scoring on hurdles bow at Ludlow 17 days ago, being allowed his head probably the key as he made all despite again proving keen. More to come.
|
Timeform
Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 1¼m), well held last 4 starts. Bit to prove on hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Perfect start when 10-length winner of an Exeter bumper in April. Looked badly in need of the experience on recent hurdles debut (jumped sketchily). May need more time to get up to speed.

Fair form when placed on 3 of his 4 bumper outings last term. Could be capable of playing a part now hurdling for new trainer.

10/3
Fair hurdler who got back on track with a good second in a 2m maiden at Warwick in May, no match for promising winner but pulling long way clear of rest. Obvious claims on return.

Timeform
Fair maiden on Flat (stays 13.5f), good third last time. Work to do on hurdles bow.

Showed fair form when reaching the frame first 3 bumper outings. Mistakes and unseated fifth on hurdles debut at Cheltenham 16 days ago. This is easier at least.
|
Timeform
Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (May 29). Worth a look on hurdles bow.

£60,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 4¼m) Bless The Wings. Of obvious interest on debut for top local yard.

Hinted at ability in Taunton bumper recently and quickly switches to hurdles. Likely to need more of a test of stamina to be seen to best advantage.

Forecasts

Lebowski (5/2), Key To The Moon (16/5), Mister Watson (10/3), Flammarion (13/2), Port Or Starboard (9/1), Stratton Oakmont (14/1), Transfer Friendly (25/1), Vians Hill (25/1), Colonial Empire (50/1), Miss West (100/1), Canal Rocks (125/1)

Verdict

MISTER WATSON ran well behind a promising winner at Warwick when last seen in the spring and can open his account if returning in that sort of form. Key To The Moon needs to settle down but clearly has an engine judged on his Ludlow success and is a big player under a penalty. Vians Hill is also well worth a look on debut for Evan Williams.

  1. MISTER WATSON
  2. KEY TO THE MOON (GER)
  3. VIANS HILL (IRE)
