Fairly useful bumper scorer who easily got off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 2/13) 5 days ago. Back up in trip and can do better.
|
Built on debut promise when landing 16-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) 36 days ago, staying on well. Open to improvement with his stamina drawn out more.
|
Fairly useful form shown when landing bumpers at Taunton and Fontwell in the spring and bolted up on hurdling debut at Kempton despite pulling hard. Excellent second in Newbury conditions event since. More to offer so he's a big player.
|
20/1, third of 6 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft) 75 days ago. Lots to find on form though.
|
Useful bumper winner for Milton Harris but off 11 months since a well-held fifth in 2m Wincanton maiden hurdle. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler.
|
Getaway gelding who has been well held in 2 bumpers/novice hurdles.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, first run since leaving Nigel Hawke when last of 10 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on hurdles bow 36 days ago.
|
£10,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dual point winner, including last time (May 2023), so he's respected on hurdling debut.
|
150/1, last of 8 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 5 days ago.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in novice hurdle (150/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Up in trip.

Forecasts
Fire Flyer (5/6), Secret Squirrel (11/10), Moorefields (13/2), Move With The Beat (28/1), Earth Cry (50/1), Broomhill Road (80/1), Getuptheyard (200/1), Whats Cooking (200/1), Palawan Du Mazet (250/1), Iron Wings (250/1)
Hughie Morrison's SECRET SQUIRREL found only Nicky Henderson's highly-rated Jeriko du Reponet too good at Newbury last time so is taken to regain the winning thread at the chief expense of Paul Nicholls' Wincanton scorer Fire Flyer. Exeter victor Moorefields rates the pick of the rest for place purposes.
