6/5
Maiden pointer who showed promise when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Kempton (16f, soft) on his NH debut in February and ran to a similar level when fourth of 12 at Southwell (15.8f) 10 days later. Shapes like one who will be better over further in due course but still has to enter calculations.

Game winner of a Worcester bumper in September 2023 and shaped as if in need of the experience switched to hurdling 8 weeks on at Doncaster. A winner on the Flat since and looked back in form at Southwell on most recent outing.

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 7f), won twice in 2024, well below form final start. Has left Dean Ivory and stamina for hurdling not guaranteed.

Fairly useful bumper winner was better than the result when fourth of 12 in maiden hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago, late mistakes. Tongue strap on 1st time and remains with potential.

Forecasts

Absolutely Doyen (6/5), Not So Sobers (2/1), Maximum Offers (11/2), Sleeping Late (8/1), Little Peter (16/1), Bongo Man (28/1), Brindley (50/1), Swordstick (125/1), My Mate Mike (150/1), Kingly Fighter (200/1), Slemish (400/1)

Verdict

NOT SO SOBERS looked second best until late mistakes did for him over C&D on his most recent outing and a race of this nature is surely within his compass on that evidence. Absolutely Doyen rates the main threat ahead of Maximum Offers.
