El Curamach^t⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: R Potter

5/6

Tongue tied and much better effort over hurdles when fourth of 13 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 66/1) 27 days ago, finishing well. Will probably be better back over further in due course but open to further improvement nonetheless.

Fair bumper winner who should be up to making his presence felt in a race of this nature over hurdles.

66/1

€42,000 3-y-o, £8,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including very smart hurdler/chaser Mala Beach and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Bonny Kate. Failed to complete both starts in points in spring 2023. Withdrawn at start on vets advice on intended Rules debut.

15/2

Failed to justify support when seventh of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft, 10/3) on debut in January. Makes a quick switch to hurdling.

Forecasts

El Curamach (5/6), Windsurfer (9/2), Gasmani (13/2), Mokoro (15/2), Gotthereintheend (14/1), Dontmesswithme (14/1), Lord Of The Glance (16/1), Ned Cash (22/1), Northern Reel (25/1), Goldies Roc (33/1), Miami Jim (66/1)

EL CURAMACH is likely to prove best back up in trip in due course but his Taunton fourth has been well franked and it probably won't take a whole lot more improvement to land this. Gasmani, a fair bumper winner, should be up to making his presence felt in a race of this nature over hurdles, while similar comments apply to Windsurfer, who's very much bred to have a future jumping.
