Fontwell bumper winner who has acquitted himself fairly well in a trio of starts over hurdles, creditable third in 21.6f Ascot handicap on latest start in November. Tongue strap added.

Fair on the Flat and bettered previous 2 efforts in this sphere when third of 10 in a Huntingdon novice (15.8f) last month. Still, another step forward needed if he's to play a leading role in this.

Just minor promise so far and he makes limited appeal.

Two-time winner on the Flat in France and has found just one too good on each of his 2 starts over hurdles, latterly in a soft-ground Fakenham maiden (2m). Another bold show anticipated.

Stepped up on previous efforts when second of 9 on handicap debut over 23f at Lingfield in November 2020. However, no show at Taunton the following month and absent since.

Successful twice on the level in Ireland. Long absence to overcome, but stamina shouldn't be a problem now hurdling for new yard and worth a second look.

Runner-up on sole completed start between the flags last spring, but offered little on recent hurdles debut for new connections at Newbury.

Winner of sole point start and placed on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles last term. Hasn't shown much switched to fences this time round, but couldn't rule out back in this sphere.

Has failed to make an impact under Rules so far and it's hard to envisage him taking a hand in the finish here.

Related to winners and displayed ability when third twice in bumpers this winter. Should have a future over hurdles given her pedigree and has to enter calculations.

Poor maiden on Flat and recent hurdles debut was devoid of promise.

Fairly useful on the Flat for Roger Charlton, winner of 1½m Newbury handicap last summer. Sold for 52,000 gns in October and, having shaped well on recent hurdles debut, he's high on the shortlist.

Forecasts

Baddesley (7/4), Saligo Bay (9/4), High Tech (3/1), Sublime Heights (10/1), Major Reward (18/1), Sallyann (20/1), Gold Souk (28/1), Storm Hill (40/1), Lakeside Lad (80/1), Hesbehindyou (100/1), Iconic Mover (150/1), Tommy Dillion (200/1)

Verdict

There were positives to glean from SALIGO BAY's recent hurdles debut at Newbury, the venue where he landed a handicap on the Flat for Roger Charlton last year, and he is taken to build on that promise here. High Tech looks sure to win a race in this sphere before long, a remark which also applies to Baddesley. They rate the main dangers, although Sublime Heights also has claims back hurdling.
