Millbry Hill Claiming Hurdle

Smart at best on Flat and positive start over hurdles, making it 4 on the spin at Musselburgh (15.5f) in December. Couple of below-par efforts followed and he needs to shrug off a poor display at Chepstow (2m) 11 days ago. Drop in grade a plus at least with blinkers refitted.

Dual hurdles winner who bounced back to form when runner-up at this venue (19.3f) on penultimate start in February. Effort flattened out when fifth tackling extended 20f at Ayr 9 days ago but he's a definite player eased in class at this shorter trip.

Landed a Redcar seller (1m) in November and continued good work over hurdles, successful at Uttoxeter (15.8f) prior to a pair of solid placed efforts. Not disgraced when fourth at Kelso (2m, heavy) latest but has his work cut out on these terms.

Lightly raced 7-y-o who gained second success in small field Market Rasen novice (20.6f) in October. However, ran a moody race sent chasing at Uttoxeter next time and pulled up sharply back over hurdles at first-named venue 15 days ago. Back down markedly in trip and not the easiest to assess.

Smart handicap chaser at best but long time since he got his head in front and failed to complete on 5 of his 6 starts for present yard, including over hurdles. Others more persuasive.

Modest hurdler who seemingly failed to get home tackling 21f in a Limerick claimer back in January. This sort of test more suitable but likely set for a minor role at best.
