Promising third in novice hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) on debut in this sphere 26 days ago. Should progress and must enter calculations.

Dreams Of Diamonds⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

2/1

Showed a bit in Exeter bumper on debut but not gone with much short-term encouragement in a pair of hurdle spins and is probably one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 447

Minella Zoom⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis

Beat Hollow gelding. Dam placed on Flat/no show over hurdles. Made the frame in 1 of his 3 point starts in Ireland. Makes rules debut for new yard here.

Form: 2P0

Mourzouk¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Shaped better than on hurdling debut when fourth of 6 in novice (200/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Still has plenty to find with principals here, however.

Form: 5664

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

4/1

Failed to build on debut Warwick bumper fourth for Graeme McPherson in 2 starts for new connections, latest on hurdles bow at Doncaster in January. Plenty to prove at present.

25/1

Poor maiden who has offered little in 4 starts over hurdles.

Forecasts

Mumbo Jumbo (4/6), Barnard Castle (13/8), Dreams Of Diamonds (2/1), Sister Michael (4/1), Realm Of Glory (4/1), Mourzouk (15/2), Minella Zoom (18/1), Tout Paris (25/1)

This looks a good opportunity for MUMBO JUMBO to get off the mark. Barnard Castle looks the obvious danger, with Realm of Glory best of the rest.
