1/8

Appeared to be making a better fist of things than he had on debut in this sphere before unseating over 3m here last winter but firmly back on track returned to timber in the spring, readily bagging handicap at Bangor/Ayr. Well worth another try in this sphere now returning to action.

Form: 2/PUP11-

5/1

Improved performer this year, well suited by the emphasis on stamina when going in again narrowly at Cartmel (25.4f) back in May. Drop in trip not sure to suit now tackling larger obstacles though, and work to do with her 2 rivals on what they have achieved over hurdles.

Forecasts

The Four Sixes (1/8), Sixmilebridge (11/8), Musique De Fee (5/1)

THE FOUR SIXES turned over a new leaf dropped back in trip during the spring, registering facile victories in handicap hurdles at Bangor/Ayr and well worth another chance back over the larger obstacles, he shades the vote over Fergal O'Brien's Sixmilebridge who quickly made up into a useful novice over hurdles last season, and very much appeals as the type to make his mark in this discipline.
