Some good efforts on the Flat for David O'Meara this year but hasny matched that back in this sphere on debut for new connections at Worcester and Market Rasen. More is required.

Fair maiden on the Flat and has finished in the money on 3 starts since switched to hurdles. Off since a well-held sixth on Flat at Southwell in April though so needs to get back on track.

A fair 12f Flat winner but he failed to go on in three runs over hurdles last season. Goes into handicaps now and may still do better.

Yet to fire this term, and had a wind op before coming in 11th of 14 in maiden at Kempton (11f) on flat debut 19 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Saligo Bay (2/1), Birdman Bob (8/1), Royal Deeside (17/2), Embolden (17/2), Ez Tiger (9/1), Gearing's Point (11/1), Kilcummin (12/1), Sami Bear (12/1), Lady Caro (16/1), Invictus De Brion (16/1), King Otis (16/1), Barenboim (22/1), Kalif D'airy (33/1), Conservative (50/1), Mi Sueno (80/1)

Verdict

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and C&D scorer SALIGO BAY, who arrives fit from the Flat, could take advantage of an attractive mark back hurdling. Stablemate Kalif d'Airy fluffed his lines on his handicap debut at Fontwell but could still emerge as the main danger ahead of C&D winners Ez Tiger and Birdman Bob.

  1. Saligo Bay2/1
