5/6
Irish point winner who has made a bright start over hurdles, runner-up here prior to staying on to lead final 100 yds in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Likely to do better still, particularly at this longer trip.

Has enjoyed plenty of success for this yard but kept busy and pulled up on his last three starts. Needs to bounce back returned to hurdling.

Doncaster bumper winner and fair form when off the mark on hurdles bow at Ffos Las (20f) in October. Jumping let him down under a penalty at Warwick (21f) in November and he could well get back on track here.

Timeform
Bangor bumper winner who hasn't built on that effort in 2 starts over hurdles, well held in a Ludlow maiden (21.2f) 24 days ago. Passed over here.

8/1
Warwick bumper winner on debut in December 2021 and went close at the second time of asking in this sphere back at Warwick (19f) when last seen 11 months ago. Now tried in a hood and will be a threat if fully tuned-up for this assignment.

Dual-winning pointer, fell in hunter chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) for Miss S. McQueen 12 months ago. Shaped as if better for the run on debut for new yard when eighth behind stablemate Atlanta Brave at Chepstow (19.5f) 22 days ago and this ought to reveal more.

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Runner-up in pair of point bumpers but failed to make an impact (well supported) when losing place gradually in a Haydock bumper (15.7f) last month. Hurdles bow.

Kapgarde half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Brampton Belle (21f winner). Dam, ran twice over hurdles in France. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Oct 2022) and the market should prove a useful guide now attentions switch to hurdling.
|
Timeform
Placed both starts in Irish points in November 2020 and left a low-key hurdles debut behind when runner-up fitted with a tongue tie over C&D 26 days ago. She did have an easy time of it on that occasion, so task is to back that up.

Down the field in bumpers and not much to shout about in a pair of novice hurdles.

Forecasts

Atlanta Brave (5/6), Spring Meadow (2/1), Hauraki Gulf (8/1), Red Happy (12/1), Inchagoill Lady (14/1), Kapamazov (25/1), Kallow Point (40/1), Bertie B (66/1), Haven't Time (80/1), Lady Berlais (125/1), Sabaarelli (200/1), Minneigh Mozze (250/1)

Verdict

ATLANTA BRAVE cemented his bright start over hurdles when getting off the mark in a Chepstow maiden 3 weeks ago and, with further progress anticipated now his stamina is drawn out further, he could well be up to defying a penalty. Spring Meadow shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Warwick in November and could well get back on track, with Hauraki Gulf completing the shortlist.
