Poor maiden on the Flat. Cheekpieces on, set a lot to do when fourth of 9 in 2m novice hurdle (125/1) at Taunton on NH debut 34 days ago. Can build on it.

100/1, hinted at promise when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Should take a step forward so merits serious consideration.

Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points but came in a remote fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good) on hurdles bow 8 days ago. More is required.

Native Ruler gelding. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1m). In good hands for his hurdling debut but he was a tailed-off fourth in points in April.

7/4
Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1½m) for Sir Michael Stoute but offered little when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Kempton (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Lots more is required.

Just poor form in bumpers and (hooded) beat only one on his hurdles debut in 2m Ludlow novice 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

No promise in Hereford bumpers and down the field in novices at Ludlow and Worcester sent hurdling. Others are preferred.

12/1
Runner-up sole start in Irish points but only eleventh in bumper (20/1) at Huntingdon on NH debut 142 days ago. Since had a wind op so not discounted on her hurdles debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time too.

Forecasts

Satono Japan (7/4), Harry Gulliver (7/2), Hobie (4/1), Emanate (8/1), Prince Of Newton (9/1), Theatrical Light (12/1), Elusive Enemy (16/1), Black Sam Vicki (33/1), Autumn Blaze (200/1)

Verdict

Most of these come with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for HARRY GULLIVER to build on his Chepstow debut fifth and open his account. Taunton-fourth Emanate could also take a step forward and rates the chief threat ahead of hurdling-debutante Theatrical Light, who returns after breathing surgery.

  1. Harry Gulliver7/2
  2. Emanate8/1
  3. Theatrical Light12/1
