Useful on Flat and came good over hurdles in a Fontwell novice (17.7f, soft) last month. Did that easily and could be up to defying a penalty.

Made a promising start over hurdles when fourth in 10-runner novice (80/1) at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 31 days ago. Drop in trip not sure to suit, though.

Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but only modest form shown after a long absence in a pair of novice hurdles at Carlisle and Warwick recently. Needs a big step forward.

Shaped like a stayer when placed in a pair of bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter novice 27 days ago. This drop in trip is unlikely to suit.

Twice-raced maiden. Second in a juvenile hurdle at Chepstow on debut in April. Off 7 months. shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 11 at Carlisle last month. Retains potential.

Forecasts

Just Gino (9/4), Classic Lord (5/2), Two Auld Pals (5/1), Yealand (8/1), Golden Ambition (8/1), Pearl Island (11/1), Catch Him Derry (18/1), One Eye On Vegas (22/1), Streamsforth Lad (150/1), Orbys River (250/1)

Verdict

CLASSIC LORD got off the mark over hurdles in tidy fashion at Fontwell last month and is selected to defy a penalty, though strong market support for winning Irish pointer Just Gino would put a slightly different slant on matters. Golden Ambit isn't sure to be suited by the drop in trip but is still third choice.

  1. Classic Lord5/2
  2. Just Gino9/4
  3. Golden Ambition8/1
