Horse A-Z
Third sole start in point bumpers/runner-up sole start in points in early-2024. However, showed nothing on first start under Rules when pulled up before 3 out on hurdles bow at Carlisle (20f) 3 weeks ago.

£40,000 buy after winning sole start in Irish points. Promising start when placed in pair of bumpers at Wetherby/Perth during the spring and this longer trip promises to suit now hurdling on seasonal return.

Dartmouth gelding who hasn't offered a great deal in pair of bumpers 5 months apart, latterly when well-beaten seventh of 10 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f) 52 days ago. Looks best watched now hurdling.

100/1
Dual point winner who, fitted with a tongue tie for Rules debut didn't offer much encouragement when eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Possible he'll be brought along with handicaps in mind.

5/6
Landed a Wexford bumper on final start for Mary E Doyle in July and left his stable debut run over hurdles well behind when third of 14 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 48 days ago, taking that place near finish. Interesting with prospect of more to come.

9/2
€10,000 3-y-o, £60,000 5-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam unraced. Won sole start in Irish points (Feb 2024) and he's worth monitoring in the betting for clues now making hurdles debut. Wears tongue strap/undergone wind surgery.

66/1
Alkaadhem gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Little impact sole start in bumpers and well held fifth of 10 in a C&D maiden on hurdles bow 33 days ago. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more his thing later on.

Timeform
£100,000 after finishing runner-up in a maiden point. Only fourth in an Ayr bumper in February but offered plenty to work on starting out in this sphere when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) a month later. Step up in trip should suit and better to come this term.

Out of a winning pointer and promise to glean from both runs starting out over hurdles here at the beginning of the campaign. Still, she's another who will be better suited to handicaps on the back of this.

Forecasts

Joecooker (5/6), Caughtinyourtrance (7/2), Saint Malinas (9/2), Visual Impact (5/1), Westerdale (33/1), Wee Alki (66/1), Donny's Fortune (100/1), Alltalknoaction (250/1), Dartie Bay (250/1)

Verdict

Bumper winner JOECOOKER stepped up on his stable debut run when finishing a good third in a Carlisle novice 7 weeks ago and with further progress in the offing, he's selected to come out on top. Visual Impact is another who can do better this season and along with Caughtinyourtrance, who showed plenty of ability in bumpers, heads up the dangers.
