€62,000 3-y-o, Dartmouth gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Unwin Vc and fair hurdler Pay The Pilot. 200/1, well held in Ascot maiden hurdle over this trip on debut 3 weeks ago, looking hard work.
|
Well held in bumpers (for Lucinda Russell) and Wincanton maiden hurdle. Up in trip.
|
Third on sole start in Irish points but little show in maiden/novice hurdle.
|
Half-brother to 4 winners, notably yard's dual Champion Chase hero Altior. Has made a promising start over hurdles in 2 Doncaster events over this trip. This looks a good opening back from 77 days off.
|
Caught the eye in a muddling-looking novice hurdle at Taunton (19f) over Christmas, finishing with running left. Can do better.
|
£80,000 buy after winning a point in April 2021. Never looked like justifying support making belated Rules debut in a tongue strap (also had a breathing operation) at Doncaster a month ago. Probably worth another chance.
|
In need of experience both starts in bumpers. Swerved and unseated rider third on hurdles debut at Ludlow when last seen. Hard to fancy after 11 months off.
|
€13,000 buy. Dam, placed in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdle winner/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Ramillies out of 2½m-2¾m hurdle winner Mrs Wallensky. Unplaced completed starts in Irish points, fell last time (Jan 27).
|
Fair form when runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Well held in mares maiden completed start over hurdles (looked hard ride prior to falling last time).
|
Placed on the second of 2 starts in Irish points in 2022 but well held in a Warwick bumper on Rules debut in November and remote fourth on hurdles bow here at the turn of the year.

Forecasts
Montecam (2/5), Scotch On Da Rocks (10/3), Native Moon (9/1), Valentia (11/1), Miss Maverick (66/1), Culligran (80/1), Fort Lauderdale (80/1), Catch Catchfire (100/1), League Clash (100/1), After Midnight (125/1)
A good opportunity for MONTECAM to get off the mark for Nicky Henderson. He's made a good start over hurdles in 2 races at Doncaster and this looks easier returning from a break. Native Moon can do better, while Scotch On Da Rocks, who was well backed when disappointing at Doncaster first time up, is probably worth another chance.
