Signs of ability in a bumper but yet to build on that over hurdles. Has had a breathing operation (also tongue tied) since latest outing at Ludlow a couple of months ago but big step forward is required.
|
Fair handicapper on the Flat and showed a bit of aptitude despite racing freely in novice at Ascot on hurdling debut. Probably more one for handicaps.
|
Mountain High gelding. Dam (h91) lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Worth market check for shrewd stable.
|
Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers last season. Yet to offer much encouragement over hurdles, though.
|
Well held in 2 bumpers 9 months ago and refused to race in a novice hurdle at Fontwell 7 days ago. Easily passed over.
|
Debut winner of Hereford bumper in February and shaped with encouragement when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle in November. Poor showing at Ludlow next time and will probably need this first run in 5 months.
|
Showed ability in a bumper and stepped forward markedly from hurdling debut when fourth in a novice at Huntingdon last time. Looks the main danger to Break My Soul. Engaged 3.10 Warwick Thursday.
|
Fetched £290,000 after landing sole start in Irish points and has shaped with more encouragement than the result suggests on each of her 3 hurdling outings to date. Sets the standard and has been found a good opportunity to open her account.
|
Well held in a Wincanton bumper on debut and no show on hurdling debut at this course 14 months later. Makes no appeal.
|
Makes some appeal on pedigree but hard to make a solid case for having been pulled up in a novice at Taunton on hurdling debut 4 months ago.
|
Modest on the Flat and had a quiet introduction to hurdling when ninth in a novice at Hereford 12 days ago. Likely to need time in this sphere.

Forecasts
Break My Soul (2/7), Rehill Relic (6/1), High Joker (17/2), Prairie Diamond (20/1), Easter Icon (20/1), Hour Star (50/1), Ocean Ridge (50/1), Deep Strato (50/1), Kauto Castillo (66/1), Gilwen Rosie (125/1), Maryah Island (200/1)
BREAK MY SOUL, an expensive recruit from points, has found less than seemed likely a couple of times but, given what she's achieved, she might not have to come off the bridle to open her account under Rules in a thin maiden here. Rehill Relic is the obvious threat and High Joker is an interesting newcomer.
