Fairly useful debut effort when second in a Limerick bumper in May 2021. Tongue tied and failed to finish his race out in the spring but set to show improved form (would have been placed) until unseating rider at Down Royal last month. More to come.

Well-bred sort who showed fair form when placed all 4 starts in bumpers in 2020-21. Not seen since but longer trip should suit now hurdling.

Irish point winner who has made the frame all 3 starts in maiden hurdles this season, though a beaten favourite on last 2 outings. Should be thereabouts.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and made a promising start over hurdles at Uttoxeter, doing well to sustain his run having made plenty of ground to get into contention. in December. Long odds-on to go one place better at Ayr but he fluffed his lines.

Forecasts

Saladam (5/4), Hold Up La Colmine (3/1), Blue Hop (18/5), Bellaney Lord (11/2), Blazing Shirocco (25/1), Fly By Milan (28/1), Breakdance Kid (33/1), Bells Express (50/1), Ffree Pedro (50/1), Bollin Matilda (200/1), Not In Kansas (300/1), Alien Encounter (400/1)

Verdict

BELLANEY LORD would have been placed but for an unfortunate unseat at Down Royal a month ago, and with this an easier race, he could be the way to go. Saladam and Hold Up La Colmine have both been expensive to follow so far but the pair should be on the premises again.
