4/9

Point winner who won a Market Rasen bumper and showed useful form when sixth in an Aintree Grade 2 in the spring. Good hurdles prospect and this looks a great opening first time up. Hood goes on.

Willie Shake Hands^h,t²²

11/1

Imposing sort but didn't do himself justice sent hurdling at Sedgefield in a hood/tongue strap having shown ability in a bumper for Ciaran Murphy 7 months earlier. Type to do better somewhere down the line.

Form: P/3-P

Beorma³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

16/1

Just modest form at best in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher this term, pulling hard under former owner/rider. Has joined Dan Skelton ahead of hurdles debut. Worth a look in the betting.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED was beaten only 6 lengths in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree when last seen and may have been found a good opening for his hurdles debut. Donald McCain sends out a couple of promising point winners in Barrabooka and Cahier's Den, while Beorma is worth a look having joined Dan Skelton ahead of her first crack over jumps.
