4/5
Hooded when 28/1 winner of 10-runner bumper at Roscommon on debut in September for Kieran Purcell. Changed hands for £85,000 and followed up with the hood left off on Musselburgh hurdling debut (17.4f) 53 days ago, forging clear. Sure to progress and win more races.

Modest hurdler. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 11/2) 22 days ago. More needed back in novice company.

Court Cave gelding. Dam winning pointer/ran once over fences. Doesn't make a great deal of appeal on paper but is in good hands.

14/1
Showed fair form when in the frame on all 3 starts in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps in this sphere over further after this run.

Well held in a brace of bumpers and tailed off in minor events/handicap on Flat. Tongue tied for hurdling debut and easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Quaresome (4/5), Special Rate (9/4), Five Dollar Fine (9/2), Summergrounds (14/1), Nab Wood (28/1), Monty Nevett (66/1), Rouse (66/1), Garswood Lady (250/1)

Verdict

There's surely more to come from QUARESOME, who didn't look the finished article when forging clear on his Musselburgh hurdling/stable debut, so he's taken to defy a penalty. Special Rate looks the obvious threat following an improved effort on his hurdling debut at Kelso. Five Dollar Fine may prove best of the rest.
