A fair performer on the Flat for Lucinda Russell last year but no better than poor form over hurdles for this yard. Passed over again.

Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful at St Moritz in February for Anthony Charlton. Shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling in a tongue strap when fourth of 8 in a novice hurdle (15/2) at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Entitled to do better.

Useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 14.5f) but little impact since 2021 and was well held on his hurdling debut back in October 2022.

Unplaced in bumpers but showed an aptitude for hurdling when third of 6 in a Market Rasen novice in May. Raced too freely and faltered before straight in similar event at Hexham last time, however.

Libertarian gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Longhouse Sale and fairly useful hurdler Long House Island. Wears tongue strap. Market should offer up some clues.

Unpromising in bumpers and offered little on last month's hurdling debut at this course.

Has shown more temperament than ability in bumpers/over hurdles. Easy to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Winning pointer who showed a bit more than on her bumper debut when third of 7 at Kelso in May 2022. Only hinted at ability making her hurdling debut after 25 months off at Hexham in June but this is a weak race all the same.

Fair 1¼m winner on Flat for Andrew Balding but well held in a pair of juvenile hurdles for Rebecca Menzies and fared no better back on the Flat for this yard at Redcar 17 days ago.

Forecasts

Aerospace (13/8), Fairmac (11/5), Tamlaght Eyes (6/1), Largy Texas (15/2), Don't Look Back (14/1), Ailt An Chorrain (16/1), Kondo Isami (28/1), Upfordebate (33/1), Brora Breeze (50/1), Easter Glory (80/1), Flexi Lady (125/1)

Verdict

The one who stands out is AEROSPACE, a useful performer on the Flat, who looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to make a winning hurdling debut. Fairmac and Tamlaght Eyes can battle it out for minor honours.
