Won twice over hurdles last season and shaped as if retaining all his ability after 6 months off at Ludlow on his return. However, jumping issues resurfaced when fourth here (23f) last time, so needs to cut out the mistakes as he now goes chasing.
|
Dual hurdles winner who opened his account at the third attempt over fences when successful at Huntingdon (19.9) a month ago, despite again jumping none too fluently. Capable of getting involved, but could do with brushing up his jumping.
|
In top form when completing a hat-trick around 3m between April and June last year. However, pulled up 4 of his 6 starts since and continued below his best when third of 5 at Newton Abbot (25.8f) last time. Others more persuasive.
|
Thrived with the tongue tie refitted last term, gaining a fourth success over fences at Plumpton (19.7f) in March. However, run of good form halted when well held at Cartmel last month. Bounce back called for.
|
Runner-up only outing in Irish points and shaped encouragingly when fifth in maiden hurdle at Ascot (19.3f) on Rules debut. Hasn't gone on as hoped since then, but he's not one to write off yet switched to chasing with tongue strap on first time (has had a wind op).
|
Third in a Wexford maiden hurdle for Leonard Whitmore last summer, but showed little for her current yard the remainder of the season. However, making her second start over fences she got off the mark at Uttoxeter (20f) 20 days ago. Can score again now that she's up and running.

Forecasts
Hardy Boy (11/8), Tiger Orchid (7/2), Jet Smart (6/1), Lord Bryan (7/1), Bolsover Bill (17/2), Talkingthetalk (9/1)
On just her second start over fences, TALKINGTHETALK benefited from the return to front-running tactics when opening her account at Uttoxeter and she can build on that effort to score again. The biggest threat could be Hardy Boy, who also arrives on the back of a win last time despite his less-than-fluent jumping. Bolsover Bill is the pick of the remainder.
- Hardy Boy11/8
- Bolsover Bill17/2
