7/4

Getaway gelding who showed ability on bumper debut at Tipperary back in the spring and made second start for current yard a winning one at Newcastle last month, idling but always holding on. That's a good platform for hurdling.

1/1

Fair but winless in bumpers (Ireland) but successful in a couple of points last year and placed both starts over hurdles for this yard at Ffos Las. Sets the standard.

Failed to threaten both starts between the flags but was still in touch when falling 3 out on hurdles debut here over 16.8f and he found only one too good over the same C&D 19 days later.

Forecasts

Golden De Coeur (1/1), Get A Superstar (7/4), One More Stroke (7/2), Jake Stevens (8/1), Captain Potter (9/1), Final Edgar (20/1), Tanking Along (33/1), No I Didn't (40/1), Miss Raindrop (250/1)

Having finished runner-up in a brace of points, ONE MORE STROKE shaped with lots of promise when occupying the same spot in a bumper at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. Sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, he's selected in favour of Golden de Coeur and Get A Superstar.
