Bahtiyar²⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Sutton⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 97| BF

10/3

Maiden who was proving headstrong again when last seen in October. Has races in him if settling better and first time up could be the time to catch him.

10/1

C&D winner well held all 3 starts back hurdling for new yard this year (quite well backed here 5 weeks ago). Dropped another 4 lb and could yet come good again.

Forecasts

Shinji (9/4), Saddlers Quest (10/3), Bahtiyar (10/3), Karakoy (17/2), Herecomeshogan (17/2), Greystoke (10/1), Sassified (10/1), Parikarma (25/1), Lost Connections (28/1), What An Icon (66/1), Fair To Dream (200/1)

SHINJI justified good support at Southwell a fortnight ago, a positive ride helping to make his mind up, while he overcame a brief scare late on. He's taken to follow up. The returning Bahtiyar and Saddlers Quest are dangerous.
