Little impact in bumpers but should do better now jumping over this longer trip.

Disappointing twice after his successful bumper debut and listed Cheltenham third but certainly not overfaced for his first go over hurdles up in trip. One to consider.

Ready winner of Stratford bumper in May. Good start over hurdles when third in 18.5f Exeter maiden on New Year's Day (strong form) under this rider and decent shout on that for all he's disappointed twice since (in handicap latest).

2/1
Fair bumper performer who was placed on his first two hurdles starts but has failed to make much of an impact switched to handicaps subsequently. Return to this longer trip will suit back in a maiden.

Made frame both completed starts in Irish points but easy to back and well held on hurdles debut at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago.

Cosily won sole start in Irish points but no show in 2 bumpers. Significantly up in trip for hurdles debut and tongue tie goes on.

Little show in two bumpers but (150/1) caught the eye under considerate handling on hurdles debut at Ludlow (2m). Poor at Ffos Las next time.

Forecasts

Godot (2/1), Copshill Lad (9/4), Cape Vidal (10/3), Scarpered (11/2), Honneur De Sivola (12/1), Jet Of Dreams (33/1), Engaging Sam (66/1), Bar Thyme (80/1)

Verdict

Not a strong maiden and COPSHILL LAD is worth another chance with his sights lowered. Cape Vidal, another bumper winner, isn't overfaced for his hurdles debut and could be a big player.

  1. Copshill Lad9/4
  2. Cape Vidal10/3
  3. Godot2/1
