Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 4m 7.71s

Easy Peasy⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

1/1

Dual bumper winner who made a successful debut over hurdles in 9-runner maiden at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) 62 days ago, readily. Open to improvement and has obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: 1101

Don't Cheddar Tear¹²

400/1

No impact in bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 7P

Janworth³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

14/1

Placed sole outing in bumpers but comfortably held both starts over hurdles. Needs this for a handicap mark.

Form: 3-74

Of Course You Can^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

6/1

Placed in bumpers but looked to be being brought along gradually in this sphere (needs this for a mark).

Form: 26-3575

Too Shy Shy²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: D Bourne

250/1

Modest winner on Flat who went with no promise sent hurdling on first outing for 18 months/since leaving John Flint when pulled up at Wincanton 26 days ago.

Form: P

Twyford's Diamond²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 102| BF

13/8

Showed little in a brace of bumpers but better signs over hurdles, finishing a good third in a novice (16.6f) at Market Rasen in February. Failed to repeat that effort at Wincanton last time, though.

Form: 0-58535

Forecasts

Easy Peasy (1/1), Twyford's Diamond (13/8), Get Sky High (3/1), Of Course You Can (6/1), Crystal Glance (12/1), Janworth (14/1), Too Shy Shy (250/1), Don't Cheddar Tear (400/1)

GET SKY HIGH offered plenty to work on behind the now smart Nemean Lion on her Hereford hurdling debut back in November 2022 and, with fitness rarely a concern with runners from the Skelton yard, she's taken to come out on top. Easy Peasy won a decidedly ordinary maiden at Exeter but surely has more to offer based on her bumper form, with Twyford's Diamond fancied to fill the places.
