12/1

Fair form when runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Has the size for jumping but took a heavy fall 3 out just as the race was beginning to unfold on hurdles bow at Wetherby (2m, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Hopefully none the worse and this may reveal more.

9/4

Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson and definite encouragement to glean from hurdles exploits for new yard, early enthusiasm catching him out late on when second of 6 in juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Live player here.

Golden Maverick²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 107| BF

4/6

Fairly useful 5-time winner on the Flat (stays 14.5f) for Ian Williams. New connections acquired him for 100,000 gns in the autumn and promise amidst inexperience in making frame both starts over hurdles, latterly when third in a Ludlow maiden (15.7f) 4 weeks ago. Big shout with more to come.

Lord Of All Saints⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin

28/1

Didn't achieve a great deal when fourth on hurdles debut at Taunton (16.5f) in December. Overjumped and fell third back at that venue 9 days ago and low-grade handicaps promise to be more his bag.

Form: 4F

Ma Belle Artiste^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: R Bevis

11/1

Useful 1m winner on Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Changed hands for 45,000 gns in October but not seen things out in a couple of spins in juvenile/mares' maiden hurdles in recent weeks. Exploits on the level offer hope she can do better in this sphere at some stage. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts

Golden Maverick (4/6), Glorious Lion (9/4), Ma Belle Artiste (11/1), Aire Spray (12/1), Lord Of All Saints (28/1)

A fairly useful, 5-time winner on the Flat, GOLDEN MAVERICK has twice shaped with promise over hurdles for his new yard, seemingly finishing with something left when third at Ludlow 4 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and with conditions holding no fears, he can come out on top. Glorious Lion, who is also getting the hang of things over hurdles, rates the lead threat.
