5/6

Finished runner-up sole start in points and made a successful start to his hurdle career at this course (19.1f, good to soft) in October. Improved on that when third of 6 in Kempton novice (16f) last month and looks a likely contender here.

Offered plenty to work on when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Likely improver and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Fortune Timmy (5/6), Rathkenny (11/4), Fashion Hunter (7/2), Fountains Blenhein (11/2), Midsummer Dream (33/1)

FORTUNE TIMMY backed up his hurdles debut victory here with a good third at Kempton last month and looks the one to beat. Fashion Hunter will be dangerous if building on his promising first start at Newbury, whilst bumper winner Rathkenny is also of interest now switched to this discipline.
