Fairly useful form when winning a brace of small-field 3m Perth handicaps over fences for Gordon Elliott last summer. Slipped up final start for that yard and he sets the standard on his hunter debut.
|
Left Tom Lacey and winning pointer since last seen under Rules and he continued the good work when a smooth winner on hunter debut at Leicester 3 weeks ago, going with enthusiasm. May have more to offer. Up in distance.
|
Established as a limited hurdler and this is a belated chase debut under Rules, but a couple of point wins offer hope.
|
Very lightly raced under Rules but runner-up on last 3 starts in this sphere. Fit from a brace of third-place finishes between the flags.
|
Sprouted wings in the pointing field early last year, winning 3 times. Came up short in the face of a stiff task on hunter debut at Cheltenham in April but warmed up for this with another point success. Very interesting.
|
Racked up a 4-timer between the flags and sound effort on hunter debut when third at Hexham in May. Tasted success in points since (sixth last time).

Forecasts
Hermann Clermont (5/6), Time Leader (9/2), Tom Cody (6/1), The Whistle Blower (7/1), Matts Commission (8/1), Ex S'elance (50/1)
The interesting one here is THE WHISTLE BLOWER, who will find this a lot easier than the hunter he contested at Cheltenham last spring and his point record is a very good one. Hermann Clremont switches to hunters early in life and sets the standard on his Irish form. Time Leader also deserves a mention.
