Horse A-Z
£45,000 buy after winning point in Ireland in October 2021 but not seen again until finishing seventh of 12 in a 17f course novice hurdle last February. More than hinted at ability on that occasion but absent again since.

Timeform
Fair maiden hurdler in France but ran below that level when sixth of 11 in 2m Uttoxeter maiden for new yard in December. The tongue tie he wore on all starts goes back on now.

5/4
Fair form in bumpers for Ewan Whillans and made a positive start over hurdles for new connections when second of 10 in 17f course novice in October. Two lesser efforts followed in November but claims if a subsequent wind operation sparks a return to form.

250/1
Offered little in 3 bumpers in 2023. Has a hood added now hurdling after an absence. Outsider.
|
Timeform
£60,000 point recruit who made an encouraging start to his hurdle career when 6 lengths second at Hexham (2½m, soft) in December. Big player with improvement on the cards.
|
Timeform
Maiden pointer who was well beaten in a couple of maiden hurdles last month. Likely booked for another struggle.

66/1
100/1 when well held in a Punchestown bumper for Leonard Flynn last January. Joined an in-form stable for his hurdle career but would need to see market support to consider. Wears a first-time hood.

9/2
Ex-Irish mare who has performed respectably in a couple of Musselburgh handicap hurdles for her new yard this winter. Ought to be competitive back in a maiden.

Forecasts

Malicash (5/4), Saint Malinas (9/4), See A Stride (9/2), Ki Woo (13/2), Jomig Des Bois (12/1), Merry Shuil (66/1), Uncertain Terms (125/1), Present For Me (250/1)

Verdict

This looks a decent chance for SAINT MALINAS to build on his promising hurdle debut second at Hexham in December. If a recent breathing operation helps Malicash to recapture the form he showed when second here in the autumn he could pose the main threat ahead of See A Stride.
