2/7

Impressive winner of Newbury bumper on debut and in the process of running a good race first time up over hurdles at Kempton 3 weeks ago until slipping up 2 out (rider lost irons). Obvious claims in first-time tongue tie.

Form: 16-P

Absolute Ruler^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: J Candlish

4/1

Useful Flat performer at 2 yrs for Donnacha O'Brien and stopped the rot on hurdles debut at Market Rasen recently, finishing with running left. Clearly has a race like this in him if building on that.

Form: 2

Definite^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris

8/1

Fairly useful performer at best on Flat (stays 1¼m) and has shown a bit over hurdles, keeping on at Plumpton a fortnight ago. Good place claims again.

Form: 6-3

25/1

Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), below form final 2 starts in 2022 (Sold from Ed Walker 12,000 gns in October). Plenty of headgear on for hurdles debut for new yard.

Hasn't come remotely close to matching her modest bumper form in 2 completed starts over hurdles.

Forecasts

Iolaos Du Mou (2/7), Absolute Ruler (4/1), Definite (8/1), Shabano (25/1), Indelible Spin (40/1), Gaazooo (150/1), Dee Day Landing (150/1), Importateur (150/1)

A thin maiden hurdle and a good opportunity for IOLAOS DU MOU to strike after his luckless run at Kempton. The superbly-bred Absolute Ruler has races in him over jumps if kicking on from his Market Rasen effort and is the danger.
