Runner-up on the second of 3 outings over hurdles last season but the form is no better than modest. May do better now sent handicapping, however, and will be straighter for last month's Chepstow return.
|
Best effort yet on second hurdles start when runner-up in maiden at Lingfield in February. Unseated early on at Plumpton on return last month but figures off a handy mark and could be a player here.
|
Hasn't really threatened in a handful of starts over timber and is likely best watched on handicap debut for new yard here. Hood back on.
|
Made winning start over hurdles in September but hasn't really built on that since, including when fifth on handicap debut at this course last month.
|
Fair maiden hurdler for Ross O'Sullivan in Ireland but ran poorly on debut for new yard last month.
|
Lightly-raced maiden under Rules who has failed to complete the last twice. Plenty to prove at present.
|
Found improvement since fitted with visor, scoring for second time when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 21 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Blinkers now tried.
|
Upped her game when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 18 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.
|
Has her quirks, but resumed from a break/wind op an improved performer earlier this year, opening her account at Stratford (22f) in May before placing at Worcester and Fontwell. Can make presence felt.
|
Didn't prove easy to catch right last term and shaped as if amiss on return at Worcester in October. Tongue strap on first time.
|
Aided by first-time cheekpieces when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, soft) 12 days ago. Mark remains unchanged and holds solid claims.
|
No promise in 3 starts last term and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement this term.
|
Still looking for first sucess but returned to form when good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Each-way claims.
|
Placed in Irish points but struggled under Rules and no signs of improvement on return at Chepstow last month.

Forecasts
Chedington's Guest (15/8), Jack Hoola (3/1), Clear Storm (13/2), Washington Singer (7/1), Zainy Champ (11/1), Three Zambezi's (11/1), Good For You (14/1), Broomfield Gale (16/1), Saucats (18/1), Reel Orange (33/1), Best Night (40/1), Lion Of The Desert (40/1), W B Easy (66/1), L'inoubliable (150/1)
Preference is for CHEDINGTON'S GUEST, who was having just his second start in handicap company when runner-up here last month and can race off the same mark. Recent winners Clear Storm and Jack Hoola head the list of dangers.
- Clear Storm13/2
- Jack Hoola3/1
