6/4
Fairly useful hurdler who completed hat-trick in 14-runner novice at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) 37 days ago, again impressing with his attitude. More to come now stepping up in trip and has strong claims.

Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers and shaped with some encouragement being being pulled up in a novice hurdle at Carlisle on Rules debut back in October. Should do better in time.

Fair in bumpers and shaped encouragingly sent hurdling when third in 11-runer maiden at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 49 days ago, barely adequate test. Open to improvement.

7/1
Got right back on track when readily opening his account in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f) 16 days ago. Has more on his plate back in a novice, though.

6/5
Mahler gelding and built on an encouraging hurdling debut when beaten only by a useful prospect at Taunton (19f) 39 days ago, clear of rest. Open to further improvement.

Forecasts

Tightenourbelts (6/5), Hugos New Horse (6/4), Pearly Island (7/1), Peace Of Rome (11/1), Cedar Row (50/1)

Verdict

HUGOS NEW HORSE is going the right way and, with more to come now stepping up in trip, he's selected to extend his winning sequence to 4, most likely at the main expense of Tightenourbelts, who was beaten only by a useful prospect at Taunton in December.
