5/4
Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and definite promise to glean from his hurdles debut second in a big field novice. Suffered a cut leg next time so expected to have a big say in this.

Better effort in bumpers when second (albeit remote) to Smurphy Enki back in March 2020. Not seen for 13 months ago and easy to look elsewhere on hurdles bow.

Fair form when placed in a couple of bumpers and took well to hurdling at the first attempt albeit racing keenly when a close fourth at Haydock last month. Hood applied and will be capable of better.

Fame And Glory gelding who won 6-runner Plumpton bumper in clear-cut fashion on debut in May and shaped as if better for run sent hurdling when second there last month. Seems sure to do better.

66/1
Shaped with a little encouragement when fourth at Huntingdon (13.7f) on NH debut but didn't really build on it at Wincanton next time. Out of depth on New Year's Day and up against it on hurdles bow.

Forecasts

American Gerry (5/4), Notlongtillmay (15/8), Wells Glory (10/3), Light Em Up Nigel (16/1), Scud (66/1)

Verdict

AMERICAN GERRY has finished runner-up on both outings over timber so far (suffered cut leg last time) and this looks a good opening for Hughie Morrison's charge to make it third time lucky. Notlongtillmay refused to settle and that may have cost him victory on last month's hurdling debut so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about with a hood now applied, ahead of Wells Glory.

  1. AMERICAN GERRY (IRE)
  2. NOTLONGTILLMAY
  3. WELLS GLORY (IRE)
