30/100

Reached the frame in 2 Flat outings in Germany and has made a very promising start over hurdles for new yard, winning juveniles at Fontwell (good) and Newton Abbot (good to soft) in recent weeks. Looks sure to make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

10/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who has been runner-up in both juvenile hurdles this summer (better effort first occasion). Might be vulnerable again unless finding improvement.

Forecasts

Lord (30/100), Stardrop (7/2), Blue Tempus (10/1), Battle Stride (50/1)

The prolific James Owen yard took this with a hurdle debutant last year and STARDROP, a pretty useful performer on the Flat, is selected to make the most of the 10 lb he receives from recent dual hurdle scorer Lord.
