Won a Sedgefield maiden hurdle in October and followed up on his chase and handicap debut at Warwick (2½m, good) in November. Similar form when runner-up at Doncaster (19f) later that month and respected for yard who continue in good form.
|
Much improved last term, registering a third victory over hurdles in handicap at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) in March. However, pulled up both starts over fences since returning in October and he has it to prove at present.
|
A fairly useful winning hurdler who returned to the pick of his form in that sphere when resuming winning ways in 8-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago, by 13 lengths from Taras Halls. Definite claims with a repeat despite 10 lb higher mark to contend with.
|
Ended time with Padraig Roche in Ireland out of sorts and he showed nothing having been easy to back when pulled up back over hurdles at Aintree for new yard last month. Hard to warm to back over larger obstacles.
|
Fair hurdler who boasts a fine record here, adding a third course success to his tally over 23f in April. Entitled to be sharper for his reappearance run here 21 days ago and he appeals as the type to make his mark now tackling larger obstacles.
|
Filled the runner-up spot 5 times over fences before deservedly getting off the mark over 2m here in November. Creditable effort from revised mark when third at Hereford (2m) 3 weeks ago and she ought to be competitive again back at this longer trip.
|
£100,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who made it third time lucky in 2½m maiden hurdle here 12 months ago. Operating below best in pair of handicaps so far this winter but this switch to chasing could well see him in a much better light now. One to monitor in the betting for clues.
|
Point/hurdles winner and best effort over fences last season when second of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, heavy) in March. Ran poorly after 8 months off when pulled up at Hereford (25.2f) 5 weeks ago and blinkers enlisted now.
|
Bumper winner who was winless over hurdles but respectable start over larger obstacles, 13 lengths second of 8 to Knockanore in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy, 4/1) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly provided he brushes up his jumping.
|
Forecasts
Taras Halls (3/1), Knockanore (3/1), I'm Ravenous (9/2), Itsnoteasy (5/1), Lime Drop (17/2), Accidental Legend (12/1), Ito Ditto (16/1), Hermes Du Gouet (16/1), Slip Of The Tongue (100/1)
KNOCKANORE returned to the pick of his form when opening his account in a C&D handicap 11 days ago and a repeat should see him go close again for all the handicapper has certainly had his say. I'm Ravenous and chasing-debutants Accidental Legend and Itsnoteasy are another couple to note.
- Knockanore3/1
- I'm Ravenous9/2
