6/4
Useful bumper performer who shrugged of a disappointing hurdle debut at Chepstow in October when winning a 16-runner maiden at Exeter 2 months later. Did that comfortably and there's more to come.
|
Timeform
Cost £290,000 after making a successful debut in the Irish pointing field last February and he looked a good prospect when landing a Fos Las maiden hurdle in October. Leading claims.

Maiden Irish pointer. 100/1 when pulled up in Ludlow maiden hurdle on Rules debut. A first-time tongue tie needs to spark major improvement.

100/1
Showed some promise on his bumper debut last March but well beaten in Newbury sales race 3 weeks later and pulled up on Cheltenham hurdle debut on New Year's Day.
|
Timeform
Placed in 2 bumpers last spring and confirmed he has a fair level of ability when third on his Southwell hurdle debut and reappearance (20.5f, soft) 37 days ago. Entitled to progress.
|
Timeform
Placed in points and showed a bit when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Southwell (20.5f) on Rules debut in December, although the reopposing High Treason was 8½ lengths ahead in third.
|
Timeform
Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts between the flags but more one for handicaps judged on his efforts in novice hurdles nearly 7 months apart.

Forecasts

Mt Fugi Park (5/4), Alcedo (6/4), High Treason (9/2), Just In A Bit (14/1), Maximum Effort (22/1), We Got Your Back (50/1), Glengolly (100/1), Local Drama (100/1), Westbrook Lad (100/1), Free The Lion (200/1), Dusky Spyglass (200/1), No More No (300/1)

Verdict

This should develop into a straight fight between promising maiden hurdle winners MT FUGI PARK and Alcedo, with a narrow preference for the former. High Treason may prove best of the remainder.
