Very much on the up for his new yard, making it 3 wins in his 4 starts when seeing off 5 rivals at Kempton (3m, good to soft) last Monday. A 7 lb penalty demands more but further progress can't be discounted in his current mood.
|
Bounced back to form to win a 2½m Perth handicap in April and made a respectable return from 6 months off when sixth of 12 at Wincanton (21f) 24 days ago. No surprise were she to go well having dipped to the mark she defied at Perth.
|
Wetherby novice winner last November and mostly creditable efforts in defeat in handicaps since, notably when second over 20.5f here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 18 days ago. Big player if his stamina holds now going up in trip again.
|
Exeter handicap hurdle winner in February 2023 but has found life tough since, pulling up back hurdling at Newbury when last seen in March. Mr Hope Street looks very much the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
|
Point winner who landed a Worcester bumper last summer. Filled the runner-up spot in Newton Abbot maidens on first 2 starts over hurdles but made an underwhelming start to his handicap career at Market Rasen 19 days ago. Up in trip.
|
Progressive in handicaps over 2½m, winning twice in the spring and clear with another improver when second back from a 5-month break at Carlisle in October. Leading claims now stepping up to 3m for the first time.
|
Lightly-raced 6-y-o who landed a Chepstow novice for Sam Thomas back in March 2023. Has drawn a blank in handicaps for this yard since but latest 3m Wetherby third was creditable. The tongue tie and cheekpieces he's worn on his last 4 starts are left off.
|
Fair winning hurdler at up to 25f. Made a solid start to his chase career after a break when third over 19f at Sedgefield last month. Ought to be competitive back in this sphere.

Forecasts
Mr Hope Street (1/1), Craven Bay (9/2), Toonagh Warrior (13/2), Burrows Hall (8/1), Tzarmix (10/1), Space Voyage (18/1), Tribal Glory (22/1), Farmer's Gamble (33/1)
MR HOPE STREET is taken to continue his improvement now moving up to 3m for the first time. Toonagh Warrior is another stepping up in distance and will be a threat if his stamina holds. Craven Bay isn't obviously well treated under a 7 lb penalty but should also have a part to play in his current vein of form.
- Toonagh Warrior13/2
- Craven Bay9/2
