Flat bred, but nevertheless showed plenty of ability and stamina when runner-up in a Carlisle bumper in March. Proved a disappointment at Ffos Las 6 weeks later though, and now tries hurdling.

Shaped as if needing the run when well held in a bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 47 days ago. Goes hurdling now after wind surgery and needs a big step forward.

€18,000 3-y-o, £75,000 4-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser Another Stowaway, stays 3¼m. Won sole start in Irish points (Dec 2020) and rates an interesting Rules newcomer.

Steady progress in 3 bumper runs and took a small step forward from his hurdling debut when third in a 2m novice at Wetherby 3 weeks ago. Remains with potential.

Forecasts

Sholokjack (11/10), Catch The Swallows (5/2), Let's Have Another (7/2), William Cody (12/1), The Sumba Island (20/1), Bert Wilson (28/1), Patient Owner (33/1), No Reaction (33/1), Radetzky March (50/1), Imperial Hurley (66/1), Eppleton Collier (100/1), Getaway Guillaume (100/1)

Verdict

SHOLOKJACK won his sole start in Irish points last winter and has since transferred to a top stable, so he makes plenty of appeal starting out over hurdles in what looks a very winnable race. Let's Have Another wasn't well placed in a steadily-run affair at Warwick and seems sure to do better, with bumper-winner Catch The Swallows also worth a look returning from a long absence for a new yard.
