Fairly useful bumper winner who built on his hurdling debut when landing the odds in a 12-runner novice at Plumpton (20.5f) 18 days ago, kept up to work. Open to further improvement and has excellent claims under a penalty.

9/2
Left his hurdling debut behind when landing a 7-runner novice hurdle over C&D (heavy) in December. Hung and jumped right throughout when pulled up before halfway at Plumpton since but worth another chance with a hood back on.

3/1
Bathyrhon gelding. Half-brother to fair French hurdler No Shoes On. Dam, placed over hurdles in France, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Wingtips. Left clear last when beating sole other finisher third and final start in Irish points (Jan 21). Market should point the way.

Bred to stay well and shaped in kind when fifth of 12 in a Warwick bumper on debut in February. Tongue tied and showed more when fourth at Southwell 3 months later but proved to be a disappointment at Worcester on final outing. Has left Dan Skelton ahead of hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Westerninthepark (8/13), Patriotik (3/1), West Warhorse (9/2), Most Agreeable (66/1)

Verdict

Previous-winners WEST WARHORSE and Westerninthepark look the pair to focus on before market clues. The former jumped and hung right throughout at Plumpton last month, but he's worth another chance returning from a longer break given the impression he created when scoring over C&D in a good time in December.
