Another Mystery⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: L Wadham

2/1

Point winner who failed to meet expectations in a bumper but much more like it when third on hurdles debut at Plumpton in January. Didn't finish race off with much conviction but remains open to progress.

Form: 1-83

11/10

Fairly useful bumper winner who posted promising second of 8 in novice at Uttoxeter (2m) on hurdles bow in January, finishing well. Ridden with more restraint when fourth up in trip at Southwell this month and likely has more to offer.

Forecasts

Benign Dictator (11/10), Another Mystery (2/1), Flaming Ambition (16/5), Realm Of Glory (6/1), Redbridge Rosie (20/1), Here's Me Mate (25/1), The Silver Ginge (40/1), Polyputthekettleon (100/1), Nivlac (200/1)

BENIGN DICTATOR still looks a work-in-progress but in the hope he is ridden more positively this time, a maiden hurdle such as this ought to be within his compass. Flaming Ambition clearly has a bigger performance in him and is a danger, along with Another Mystery.
