Winning Irish pointer with a good pedigree and has shown clear ability in his 3 qualifying runs and rates a likely improver now handicapping over this much longer trip. Also tongue tied first time.
|
Runner-up on his completed outing in points. Beaten a long way in maiden hurdles but could come into his own now handicapping over longer distances.
|
Improved when dead-heating on Fontwell handicap debut (19f, soft) on Boxing Day and backed that up when second of 12 over C&D 16 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb but he's unexposed as a stayer and may have more to come.
|
Well held in bumpers but shaped with some encouragement when third in a pair of Market Rasen novice hurdles last summer. Looks on a competitive mark if he's ready to roll after 7 months off.
|
Maiden who showed a bit first 2 starts in novice hurdles. Yet to kick on in handicaps but shaped as if better for the run following 5 months off when fifth at Exeter (21.5f) 6 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.
|
Modest maiden hurdler for Nicky Richards. Failed to complete all 3 starts for Laura Morgan last winter and pulled up on Ludlow stable debut in November. Can only watch.
|
Chase winner last season. Best effort over hurdles this term when second of 11 over C&D in October. Off since but claims if resuming in similar form.
|
Disappointing in handicap hurdles and 2 chases for Warren Greatrex in the first half of last year but has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change ahead of his reappearance. Market confidence would look significant.
|
Has yet to show much, including on 2m Uttoxeter handicap debut after wind surgery. Steps up significantly in trip after a further 4 months off. Could only consider if backed.

Forecasts
Hermes Le Gris (2/1), Hobb's Delight (10/3), Getaway Glory (5/1), Fantomas (15/2), Inchester D'amsyl (8/1), Hammer Dan (8/1), Release The Kraken (16/1), Ballynaheer (20/1), Matoury (80/1)
Robbie Llewellyn is making a name for himself with new recruits and HERMES LE GRIS appeals as another who might be turned around by a switch to the Wiltshire-based handler. Market support for handicap newcomer Getaway Glory would make him a possible big threat. Recent C&D runner-up Hobb's Delight is also respected in an interesting finale.
