6/4
Solid form when placing in back-to-back maiden hurdles at this track. Showed he retains plenty of ability when third on reappearance at Carlisle (17f, soft) earlier this month and could be the one to beat if seeing out the longer trip (half-brother stays 2¾m).

Placed in a weak affair on the last of 3 starts in points and went with little short-term promise on hurdle debut in March. Best to look elsewhere.

Timeform
Off mark in Irish points at sixth attempt in an ordinary race (Nov 2024). Has since undergone breathing operation (also wears first-time tongue strap) and market should guide on stable debut.

Masterstroke gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Roaring Home, stays 21f. Dam (h123), bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Westmeath. Makes some appeal on paper and betting should offer some clues with yard also saddling Judicial Deference.

Stoutly bred gelding was successful on sole start in Irish points. All the rage in the betting when second in a 7-runner novice on hurdle/stable debut at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 26 days ago, finishing with running left having found the emphasis too much on speed. Likely to improve.

Half-brother to smart Fiddlerontheroof. Won sole start in Irish Points (Mar 2025) and was given a considerate introduction in first-time tongue tie (retained), when fifth in a 14-runner Fontwell novice (17.7f) on hurdles bow. Better to come upped in trip.

Poor bumper form for Tom Weston and fared even worse on stable debut at Hereford in April. Significant improvement needed upped in trip on hurdles bow.

50/1
€23,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to fair 19f hurdle winner Miranda Priestly and fair hurdler Trump Lady. Finished in frame all 4 starts in Irish points (latest Oct 2023). Probably one for the longer-term.
|
Timeform
Made the frame in both bumper outings. Left hurdle debut form behind when third (28/1) in a 6-runner novice at Ludlow (21.2f) earlier this month, looking far from the finished article. Entitled to improve but may be better off in handicaps.

Forecasts

Atlantic Lad (6/4), Hardly Surprising (7/4), Daylatedollarshort (11/4), Judicial Deference (14/1), Windsor Blue (18/1), Fine As Wine (50/1), Cool Master (100/1), Dublin City (150/1), Josh Central (200/1)

Verdict

Twice placed at this track, ATLANTIC LAD sets the standard on what he's achieved so far and is taken to open his account upped in distance. Daylatedollarshort and Hardly Surprising standout as the main dangers, both in good hands and likely to improve from their promising hurdle debuts.
