Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

14/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler My Immortal and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Sandhurst Lad. However, never in the hunt on debut last month and likely to need more time.

Form: 8

Fringill Dike¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| CD

5/4

Nicely bred bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m Newcastle novice on his completed start over hurdles. Looks the main threat to Minelladestination.

Minelladestination⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

11/10

Winning start to her career in a 2m Wetherby novice hurdle last month. Should have more to offer and this looks a very good opportunity to follow up.

Form: 1

Beautiful Mix⁸

Modest second on bumper debut back in 2016 and not seen again until unseating early in a Catterick novice hurdle nearly 6 years later.

Form: 2/U

Beaten a long way in 2 bumpers towards the end of 2021 ahead of this switch to hurdles.

Forecasts

Minelladestination (11/10), Fringill Dike (5/4), Follow Your Arrow (15/2), Baron Briggs (14/1), Lady's Present (100/1), Beautiful Mix (125/1), Breaking Records (150/1)

Wetherby debut scorer MINELLADESTINATION should take a good deal of stopping with further improvement on the cards. Fringill Dike gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Follow Your Arrow.
