Fair bumper winner (on AW) who has ran to a modest level when midfield on second hurdle start in a Ludlow novice (15.7f) last month. May well do better in handicaps.

Well-related Fame And Glory gelding who made it 2-2 in bumpers at Huntingdon (15.8f) readily conceding weight all round. Rates an exciting prospect now tackling timber.

Fair maiden hurdler. Improved over fences last season, successful at Kempton (3m) in October and looked big player before falling at Taunton 12 months ago. Not ruled out starting out for new yard.

9/1
Winning pointer who has offered some promise in a couple of hurdle outings in recent weeks, not disgraced despite finishing last of 4 at Wincanton (21.3f) latterly. Handicaps may be more his bag.

Forecasts

Doddiethegreat (1/3), Fifrelet (9/2), Smoking Pigeon (9/1), Pontresina (25/1), Bricklagger (40/1)

Verdict

DODDIETHEGREAT looked an exciting prospect in bumpers, making it 2-2 in clear-cut fashion at Huntingdon back in the spring. Just the type to make his mark over hurdles for his powerful yard, he earns the vote to come out on top. Fifrelet scored in good style at Newton Abbot recently and is next best, ahead of Pontresina.
