6/1
Fairly useful and consistent in bumpers and made a successful debut over hurdles after 8 months off/wind op in 13-runner novice at Fontwell (17.7f) 26 days ago, value for extra. Sure to progress.

Decisive winner of sole bumper start at Le Mans and went in again on Warwick hurdle/stable bow (2m) 12 months later, leading last and quickening clear. Type to improve markedly.

Dual bumper winner who scored in the manner of a useful recruit on Bangor hurdles debut in October. Similar form when second in 4-runner Grade 2 here last time and remains open to improvement.

16/1
Impressive in winning all 3 bumpers starts in 2020 and shaped with promise switched to hurdling after 14 months off when second in 5-runner novice at Market Rasen (18.6f) 22 days ago. Should improve.

Forecasts

Hartur D'oudairies (13/8), Washington (11/5), JPR One (9/2), Datsalrightgino (6/1), Socialist Agenda (16/1), Great Heart'Jac (16/1)

Verdict

WASHINGTON still didn't look the finished article when runner-up in a small-field Grade 2 here last time, so with more improvement to come, he gets the nod. Hartur d'oudairies and Jpr One both created a positive impression on their respective hurdle debuts and also look very promising.

  1. WASHINGTON
  2. HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES (FR)
  3. JPR ONE (IRE)
