Fitted with a visor for the first time when posting a very good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 18 days ago. Weigted to go well nudged up 1 lb with headgear again sported.
|
A three-time winner last season but he failed to build on reappearance seventh when only ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 10/1) 18 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
|
Arrives in good nick, third of 10 in novice hurdle (11/2) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps.
|
Fair Flat winner who posted a creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and needs considering.
|
Winning Irish pointer who recorded a respectable fifth of 12 on his handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 7 days ago given he pulled hard. In the picture off the same mark.
|
250/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f) 6 months ago. Hood on for his handicap hurdle debut with more required.
|
Off 8 months before being pulled up in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Huntingdon (25f, good) 54 days ago. This fair 2m winner can't be discounted if shrugging off latest effort though.
|
Built on previous efforts on his handicap bow when third of 10 here (16.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.
|
100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Needs to build on it now.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, best run when third of 7 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good) 21 days ago. Possibilities.
|
It's now 18 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. 3 lb "wrong" in the weights here too.

Forecasts
Ellerton (16/5), Amalfi Bay (9/2), Bob O Rhino (6/1), Bluebella (6/1), Gavin (7/1), Ned Cash (15/2), Fashionelle (12/1), Far Away West (18/1), Crac De Megaudais (20/1), Square Du Roule (28/1), Mawlood (66/1)
A tightly-knit handicap in which ELLERTON is taken to build on his very good Newton Abbot second and get back to winning ways. Ned Cash heads the list of dangers on the back of his good recent third here with Bob O Rhino, Amalfi Bay and Fashionelle also in the picture.
- Ellerton16/5
- Ned Cash15/2
