Horse A-Z
Overcame a troubled run to make winning debut in AW bumper at Kempton in February 2021. Off since, but in good hands as he embarks on hurdling career.

Timeform
No impact in a bumper/novice hurdle.

£25,000 5-y-o fourth foal, brother to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/smart chaser (17f-2½m winner) Horner Woods. Made frame both starts in points but no immediate promise on recent hurdles debut at Hereford.

Pulled too hard in a pair of bumpers at Exeter but showed fair form under a change of tactics when placed in a brace of C&D novice events in recent weeks. Big player with a repeat of that level.
|
Timeform
Placed in bumpers a year apart (trained by Fergal O'Brien on debut) but soon beaten at Exeter in January and now goes hurdling.

Cheap purchase who landed 4-runner Fontwell bumper on debut in June. However, not in anything like the same form under a penalty on heavy ground after and also well held over hurdles when last seen in October. Tongue tie left off.

Timeform
Runner-up sole start in Irish points in May. £54,000 buy and from the family of top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Time For Rupert. Looks a long-term project judged on Ludlow run in December.
|
Timeform
Related to winners and offered something to work on in a bumper/maiden hurdle here this winter. Runner-up at Taunton since, shaping particularly well, and limit not yet reached.

Forecasts

Stormin Crossgales (10/11), Moorland Rambler (9/5), French Bumper (6/1), Chalgrove (15/2), The Turtle Said (12/1), Pixie Loc (25/1), Lighthouse Mill (40/1), Time For Bell (40/1), Kentford Drake (150/1)

Verdict

STORMIN CROSSGALES displayed ability when placed in a couple of C&D novice events and while Moorland Rambler probably possesses the greater long-term potential, Tom George's inmate may be the better equipped to deal with this test of speed. Chalgrove is also considered on his return.
