1/14

£80,000 purchase after winning his only start in Irish points and built on promising hurdle debut third when scoring over C&D last month. This looks an excellent opportunity for him to follow up.

Form: 1-31

Beechmount³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: C Grant

200/1

Pulled up sole start in points and no promise in novice hurdles at Kelso and C&D over 5 months apart.

Form: P/7P

Charizord¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett

14/1

Well beaten in 2 bumpers a year apart (trained by Harry Smyth in Ireland on debut) but showed ability when a well-held fourth on his Carlisle hurdle debut a fortnight ago.

Form: 6-84

Nut Wood²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: Craig Lidster

40/1

Half-brother to dual bumper winner Shantewe but he didn't shape with any obvious promise on his Wetherby bumper debut last month.

Form: 7

Something Golden^p1²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Oliver Boyden⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 86

9/1

Modest maiden hurdler for Iain Jardine. Has been pointing for new connections, winning a maiden in February but held in restricted company twice since. Unlikely he'll be seriously troubling Beneficially Yours.

The White Rat¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby

80/1

Well held in a point bumper and Carlisle novice hurdle last month.

Forecasts

Beneficially Yours (1/14), Something Golden (9/1), Charizord (14/1), Nut Wood (40/1), The White Rat (80/1), Beechmount (200/1)

This should be plain sailing for last month's C&D winner BENEFICIALLY YOURS. Charizord showed a bit on his recent hurdle debut and is preferred to Something Golden for the forecast spot.
