125/1
Soldier of Fortune gelding who shaped with some promise when fourth on bumper debut at Southwell (15.8f) in December. Folded tamely when pulled up on hurdles bow at Chepstow since and this ought to reveal more.

Brother to smart hurdler/chaser Death Duty. Fair form on second of 2 starts in bumpers and encouraging start over hurdles when second in 17-runner Wetherby novice (2m) last month. Open to improvement upped in trip.

Malinas gelding who showed fair form in bumpers and definite promise despite jumping none too fluently when fifth in a Doncaster maiden (2.8f) in January. Entitled to do better with that under his belt and one to consider.

Made the frame on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points and glimmer of promise when fifth on hurdles bow at Warwick (19f) back in April. Offered little back from 7 months off at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November and handicaps likely more his bag in due course.

Appealing NH pedigree and having showed ability in bumpers he built on his hurdling debut effort when third in a Lingfield maiden (2m) 3 weeks ago, without being knocked about. Remains type to do better again.

Clear when fell last sole start in Irish points. Failed to meet expectations in a Wetherby novice hurdle on Rules debut in late October but fared much better on the back of a breathing op (also tongue tied) when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (16.5f) last month. Looks capable of better again.

€20,000 3-y-o, Golden Lariat gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Dingo Dollar. Fourth sole start in point bumper (Mar 2022) but friendless in betting and offered little on hurdles debut at FFos Las 4 weeks ago.

Fetched €78,000 as a 3-y-o and this brother to useful hurdler Impervious/half-brother to fair hurdler Dame de Fortune shaped with promise on debut in a 2m Worcester bumper. This stiffer test should suit now switched to hurdles and he's one to consider for leading yard.

Represents a yard who enjoys plenty of success in bumpers, but made an unpromising start to his career when seventh of 8 at Chepstow (7/2) in April last year. However, no surprise to see him fare better on hurdles debut. Market should guide.

Pether's Moon gelding who has plenty about him physically and has found only one too good on each of his 3 starts over hurdles, latterly at Ffos Las (20f) 4 weeks ago. Entitled to be firmly in the mix again.

Forecasts

Uncle Bert (6/5), Hourvari (10/3), Joe Dadancer (9/2), Dj Pete (13/2), Morning Line (8/1), Big Ambitions (11/1), Seismic Wave (50/1), Am I Wrong (125/1), First Offence (200/1), Spicy Nelson (200/1), Larrikin (200/1), Cloudy Hills (200/1), One Man Party (250/1), Engaging Sam (250/1), Elsieanne (250/1), Gone To Texas (250/1)

Verdict

UNCLE BERT has made a bright start to his career, again finding one too good at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago and pulling clear of the remainder. This could be the day he gets off the mark, with hurdles-debutant Morning Line, and likely improvers Dj Pete, Joe Dadancer and Hourvari others fancied to be thereabouts.
