Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Mr Jack (2m-2½m winner). Dam unraced from the family of Oaks winner Lady Carla. Betting the best guide to expectations with this one on rather belated debut.

Clearly has had his problems but also possesses a fair bit of talent, finishing placed in maiden events on both starts this summer (first one here). Sure to go well.

Modest maiden on Flat and ran to a similar level on completed start over hurdles back in 2019. Difficult to see him featuring.

Unplaced in points. 10/1, didn't achieve much when remote fourth on Stratford hurdle debut 39 days ago.

15/8
Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 11f) in Ireland. Better effort over hurdles for new yard when second at Southwell (2m) last month. May have more to offer. Probably the one to beat.

In need of experience and always towards the rear on his Newton Abbot bumper debut in March.

Well held in a course bumper in May and beaten 17 lengths in a match race here on hurdle debut 25 days later. Unlikely that form is worth much.

Forecasts

Fortunate Fred (8/15), Lusaka (15/8), Bolberry Down (16/1), Coconut Twist (16/1), Watchoutitscookie (33/1), Fit For Flight (50/1), Holnest Pound (50/1), Milldean Felix (100/1)

Verdict

This will likely develop into a straight fight between LUSAKA and Fortunate Fred, with preference for the former who has the potential for better still after only 2 starts in this sphere.

  1. Lusaka15/8
  2. Fortunate Fred8/15
  3. Coconut Twist16/1
