Horse A-Z
Debut 13f Flat winner in France in October. Hasn't achieved a great deal despite finishing third both hurdles starts but he's in top hands and is capable of a bigger performance.

Made some appeal on pedigree and shaped like the stayer he's bred to be when fifth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) on debut in October. Should benefit from that first experience.

Flat winner but struggling for form on the level and offered nothing sent hurdling at Huntingdon a month ago.

Second in a Tramore bumper and given a considerate return for new yard when fourth at Hereford in November. Promising start over hurdles when second of 4 at Newbury in February and he's the one to beat.

Fairly useful performer at best on Flat (stays 1¼m). Showed a bit when sixth of 10 on his recent Wincanton hurdle debut but he will need to improve on that form to play a prominent role here.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdlers Silver Sheen (2½m-25f winner) and Miah Grace (2m/17f winner). Dam bumper/2m-19f hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Quickbeam. Sound start to her career when third of 5 in October. More to come.

Forecasts

Up For Appeal (11/10), Angel's Dream (9/4), Artistic Endeavour (13/2), Definite (15/2), Wonderweasle (8/1), Cassowary (80/1), Elmejor (100/1), Eile Tara (125/1), Moorgate (125/1)

Verdict

Not a strong maiden hurdle so it looks a good chance for UP FOR APPEAL to go one place better having made a promising start to his hurdles career at Newbury. Wonderweasle is the obvious threat, though Angel's Dream is capable of better.
