Placed multiple times in Irish points but well held twice over hurdles last month. Drops in trip.

Getaway gelding who is bred more for stamina than speed and looked badly in need of the experience in a Kelso bumper on debut in May. Should do better in time.

€27,000 3-y-o, Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Well Done d'Oc. Some promise in bumpers (keen on return) and should do better now hurdling.

Good start when third in a big-field 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran in March but always behind on return at Carlisle last month for new trainer.

Took another step forward back from 7 months off when second to promising rival in C&D event 3 weeks ago, pulling hard. More to come still if he learns to settle. Key player.

Proved a lot more tractable fitted with hood/tongue tie when opening account in Stratford bumper in August. Needs to back that up now hurdling, though his dam made a successful start in this sphere.

£40,000 buy who looked a good prospect as he eased his way to a wide-margin success on debut in bumper here in the spring under Brian Hughes. Lots to like.

Showed more than first time up over hurdles when last seen in May at Kelso (21f), looking like finishing closer than he did for a long way. Drops back in trip on return.

Cost plenty and looked a good prospect as he scored on debut in bumper here a year ago. Shaped as if amiss at Newcastle in March but retains bags of potential now jumping back from wind op.

Modest Flat winner who was shaping up nicely until falling last on hurdles bow at Sedgefield last month. Worth a look for new yard (also responsible for The Jad Factor).

Forecasts

Soft Risk (1/2), Muhtamar (6/1), Travail D'Orfevre (7/1), The Jad Factor (11/1), Domandlouis (18/1), Enemy At The Gate (20/1), Well Planted (22/1), Limerick Leader (28/1), Moonacura (28/1), Wotsmyname (33/1), Scots Poet (40/1), Choctaw Brave (150/1)

Verdict

SOFT RISK looked a good prospect as he ran out an easy winner of a bumper here on debut in May and can make the perfect start over hurdles. Muhtamar, a good second over C&D 3 weeks ago, could be the danger if he settles better, with Well Planted also worth a look for a new stable.
