Needed experience when sixth in the Newton Abbot bumper won by Iberio in October. Switches to hurdles on return. Bred to need longer trips than this.

Overcame inexperience to land a Newton Abbot bumper on debut in October but he's been beaten a long way in a couple of hurdle runs since. Early days but best watched here.

No show in 3 bumpers for Kayley Woolacott last season. Seemed to offered a bit more when fifth on his Lingfield (AW) return but still best watched now hurdling.

Didn't offer much in a Ffos Las bumper on debut in October but omore like it when fifth of 18 on his WIncanton hurdle debut last month, albeit a couple off today's rivals were ahead of him.

Fairly useful on Flat for William Muir. 13/2, showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth (San Giovanni third) of 18 on his Wincanton hurdle debut 4 weeks ago. Should progress.

Some promise on first of 2 bumpers for Emma Lavelle last winter. Made sound start over hurdles when 9 lengths third of 18 at Wincanton last month, with Natty Night/Mister Splash behind. More to come.

Is bred to be a useful jumper. Better effort in maiden hurdles when fourth of 12 over 2m at Southwell 29 days ago. Potential for better again.

Useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) and bought for 155,000 gns in the autumn. Could only manage a remote fourth on his completed start over hurdles in recent weeks but likely capable of better before long.

Second start when winning Lingfield AW Flat claimer for Jamie Osborne in October. Subusequently had wind surgery. Possibly best watched now hurdling for new stable.

Forecasts

Natty Night (5/2), San Giovanni (3/1), Yvette Guilbert (11/2), Iberio (7/1), Titian (15/2), Mister Splash (9/1), Iceburgh Bay (20/1), Could Talkaboutit (33/1), Drag Race (33/1), Jack The Farmer (40/1), Kishorn (80/1), Sands Chorus (150/1), Benandgone (200/1), Don't Say Never (400/1)

Verdict

SAN GIOVANNI, Natty Night and Mister Splash were third, fourth and fifth in the same big-field Wincanton maiden hurdle last month, with the first-named taken to confirm his superiority over that pair and strike at the second time of asking over hurdles. Southwell-fourth Yvette Guilbert is respected for the Skeltons, while Titian is likely better he than showed on his completed start over hurdles.

  1. SAN GIOVANNI (IRE)
  2. YVETTE GUILBERT (FR)
  3. NATTY NIGHT
