Has looked one of her top stable's lesser lights to date, pulling up on 2m Kempton debut only 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
|
Maiden Irish pointer who made a decent start to his handicap hurdle career when 11 lengths second of 14 to a very well-treated rival at Southwell (20.5f, good) last month. Respected.
|
Point runner-up but only no impact in maiden/novice hurdles and pulled up on Huntingdon handicap and chase debut in January. Given time since. Still early days but would need market support to consider.
|
Runner-up over this trip on Newcastle handicap debut in January. Below that level twice since but he seemingly failed to stay 3m last time and can do better back over shorter.
|
On a good mark on peak form but hasn't really been threatening to take advantage.
|
Poor form at best, pulling up in both handicap starts. A first-time visor needs to have a positive effect.
|
Might have just needed it after 4 months off when fourth on his 2m Hereford handicap hurdle debut a month ago. Has a low hurdle mark compared to his Flat ability and this longer trip might suit given he stays well on the level.
|
Showed a bit when fifth on 19.5f Huntingdon handicap debut 14 days ago. Longer trip may suit. Not discounted.
|
Maiden Irish pointer who has finished down the field in 4 hurdles for current yard, including a handicap last month. A subsequent wind op needs to have had a transformative effect.
|
Overall record an uninspiring one and ran no sort of race when last seen at Southwell (20.5, soft) in December. Can only be watched unless the market says otherwise.
|
Unplaced in points and well beaten on his completed start over hurdles. Makes handicap debut from well out of the weights.

Forecasts
Dixie Cowboy (11/4), Ushuaia Dancer (5/1), Nothinelsematters (11/2), My Girl Katie (7/1), Molly's Third Man (7/1), Mullys Choice (10/1), Grandmaster Flash (10/1), By The Grace (16/1), No More No (22/1), Mistertommyshelby (22/1), Scout Master (50/1)
Brian Hughes retains the ride on USHUAIA DANCER who is given another chance to show he's on a favourable mark back over shorter. Dixie Cowboy was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Southwell recently and is second choice ahead of Grandmaster Flash, whose Flat form suggests he might benefit from this step up in distance.
