Irish point winner who readily maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles when going 3-3 in 5-runner handicap at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 28 days ago. Has more to offer, especially stepped up in trip. Leading claims.
|
Lightly-raced hurdler who was bagging his third win in 2m3f handicap at Warwick in November. Good second off 7 lb higher mark at Haydock since so he can make his presence felt again.
|
Better than ever when returning from a 6-month break to double his hurdle tally in 21f Warwick handicap. Respectable fourth of 6 at Chepstow (3m, heavy) since. Considered.
|
In good form on the Flat since joining Ian Williams, winning staying events at Pontefract and Newmarket during the autumn. Proved he retains his ability in this sphere when third in a 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) since so he is in the mix. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces.
|
Useful winner on Flat who bagged third success in this sphere when scoring at Lingfield (16f) in November. Below form both runs since however so he has a bit to prove.
|
C&D winner in 2020. Only thrice raced since but he turned in much his best run since when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Possibilities.
|
Remains a maiden following 9 attempts over hurdles but he arrives in good nick, third at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) last month. Stamina was stretched that day so there's plenty to like back down in trip.
|
Bumper winner who is knocking on the door in this sphere, third of 5 to Lowry's Bar in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and in the picture.
|
Forecasts
Lowry's Bar (9/4), Lord Of Cheshire (5/1), Bertie Wooster (11/2), Out Of Focus (6/1), Benign Dictator (7/1), Black Kalanisi (8/1), Slip Road (10/1), Celtic Art (14/1)
A few with chances but it's impossible to side against the progressive LOWRY'S BAR who has yet to meet with defeat over hurdles and should find this step up in distance unlocking further improvement. Haydock runner-up Lord of Cheshire also arrives on the up so is next on the list with Bertie Wooster in the picture too now he reverts in trip.
