7/4

Placed in Irish points and progressed with each run in bumpers, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in that sphere at Kelso (16.2f) in May. Showed plenty to work on sent hurdling after 6 months off when third at Carlisle and should improve.

10/11

Second in an Irish point earlier this year and stepped up on Rules debut fourth in a Perth bumper when winning one handsomely at Hexham (16.2f, soft) on return. Decent start over hurdles when second at Wetherby 3 weeks ago and good chance of going one better.

Showed definite ability in 3 hurdles earlier in the year, posting his best effort when fourth at Hexham in March. Staying handicaps more likely to be his thing.

7/2

Built on the promise shown in a couple of bumpers last season when third of 7 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 41 days ago, running on. Open to progress.

Forecasts

Lost Frequencies (10/11), Dedicated Hero (7/4), Young Getaway (7/2), Big Zouk (5/1), Tuppence (16/1), That One (66/1), It's Dan (66/1), Jirko (80/1), Lizzie Luna (80/1), Shadowfax Of Rohan (200/1), Bray Dale (200/1), Catcha Flight (250/1), Monklaw (250/1)

LOST FREQUENCIES made an encouraging debut in this sphere when runner-up in what was quite a valuable race of its type at Wetherby 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat. Dedicated Hero and Young Getaway also made a promising start over hurdles and are others to consider.
