Irish bumper winner who matched that form at the second time of asking for new yard when runner-up under a penalty at Sedgefield in October. Failed to build on that when fourth of 7 in conditions event here (16f, heavy) 103 days ago but remains with potential up in trip after a wind op.
|
Progressive sort who got off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 28 days ago, staying on well. Cheekpieces on 1st time and well in the mix with more improvement on the cards.
|
Cloudings gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 25f) Texas Jack. Market can prove a good guide.
|
Fifth of 11 in bumper (17/2) at this course on debut 26 days ago. Goes hurdling stepped up in trip now and he's no forlorn hope.
|
Fairly useful and consistent maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. The form choice back in maiden company.
|
10/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) on debut 30 days ago. Lots more is required.
|
Fair form shown in bumpers for Michael Appleby in 2022. Well below that level for new yard following an 18-month absence in a pair of 2m4f novice hurdles at Newcastle though.
|
18/1, seventh of 11 in bumper at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut stepped up in trip. Possibilities.

Forecasts
Magical King (8/15), Willsburg (9/4), Tommy Time (13/2), Brother Boris (18/1), Para Handy (66/1), Red Sam (100/1), Black Bart (125/1), Zuul (150/1)
MAGICAL KING possesses much the best form on show so this reliable sort is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success back in these calmer waters. Recent Ffos Las scorer Willsburg rates the main threat, with Tommy Time not discounted either if resurgent after breathing surgery.
