Horse A-Z
A fair bumper winner but is yet to threaten in 2 starts on the level.
|
Timeform
Useful hurdler who has run creditably in that sphere at Ascot and Cheltenham in recent months. Proved disappointing on Southwell Flat debut in between those outings, however, and needs improvement to figure here.
|
Timeform
Progressed from fair course debut effort when winning 12-runner novice (7/1) at Newcastle (1m) in November. Ought to appreciate this longer trip and remains with potential.
|
Timeform
Ran with promise when fourth of 9 in maiden (22/1) at this course (1m, soft) on debut in October. Should progress, particularly now stepped up in trip.

Offered more than on debut when fifth of 6 in novice (10/1) at this course (1m, soft) in October, shaping as though this longer trip would suit. Enters calculations.

Infraad166
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas
Closely related to several winners and posted an encouraging second of 5 in maiden (10/3) at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on debut in October. In good hands and looks sure to progress this season.
|
Timeform
$85,000 yearling, Munnings colt. Dam smart US 8.5f winner, placed in Grade 1 8.5f events there. Market check advised on debut.
Timeform
Finished last home in novice at Newmarket (1m) on debut in October and is likely a longer-term prospect.
|
Timeform
Twice-raced maiden who built on encouraging debut effort when third of 6 in novice over longer trip at Southwell 39 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Forecasts

Infraad (13/8), Director's Cut (3/1), You Got To My Soul (4/1), Hatteen (8/1), Mr Bollinger (12/1), Tripoli Flyer (14/1), Bay Royale (16/1), That Darn Cantor (33/1), Grazeon Sunshine (66/1)

Verdict

Preference is for INFRAAD, who is nicely bred and made a pleasing start to his career at Doncaster last autumn. There should be plenty more to come. Director's Cut and Hatteen are also likely improvers and are feared most.
