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.
|
Runner-up in an Irish point and had a wind operation prior to making a successful start under Rules in a Bangor bumper back in January 2019. Subsequently sold out of David Pipe's yard for £26,000.
|
Poor form in bumpers and well held completed start over hurdles.
|
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.
|
Showed promise when third in sole bumper at Ffos Las in May and did likewise sent hurdling when fourth of 15 in 2m novice at Warwick on return 4 weeks ago. Sure to do better.
|
Getaway gelding who shaped with encouragement when third in a Punchestown bumper for Colin Motherway in March. Showed up well for a long way on Worcester hurdle bow but was beaten when falling 2 out.
|
Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but was well held on recent hurdling debut at Southwell.
|
€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.
|
Poor form in a brace of bumpers for Geoffrey Harker and well beaten both starts over hurdles for new yard. Tongue strap on for the first time.
|
Modest bumper performer who showed a bit on Thurles hurdles debut in October, but failed to match that form there last time and has since left Roger McGrath.
|
Hinted at ability in a Fakenham bumper on debut and did likewise sent hurdling when fourth in a 5-runner novice at Doncaster 11 days later. Back down in trip.

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)
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.
