Black Hawk Eagle³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 123| BF

9/2

Flat/hurdles winner who belatedly confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when taking 3-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March. Still going as well as any when exiting before the longer trip came into play at Hereford since and remains of interest.

Form: 92631F-

That's Nice⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119| BF

4/1

Point winner who won 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles. Well held first 2 runs over fences last season but back on track when second at Newbury (23f) in March. Eased out of the race after a bad mistake at the fourth at Hereford since.

Form: 41/752P-

Orderoftheday⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 118| BF

13/8

Showed plenty when runner-up in 2 bumpers and went one better on Bangor hurdling debut/reappearance (17f) in November. Has shown better form in defeat in 3 runs since and possesses all the hallmarks of a useful staying novice chaser.

Form: 22/1343-

Forecasts

Orderoftheday (13/8), Queensbury Boy (2/1), Stanners Glen (9/4), That's Nice (4/1), Black Hawk Eagle (9/2)

STANNERS GLEN got off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles with a bit up his sleeve at Wincanton in March and with the switch to chasing and step up in trip likely to bring about further improvement, he's taken to capitalise on what could be a very generous opening mark. Black Hawk Eagle was going as well as any when exiting at Hereford on his latest start and should be adding to his chase tally this spring/summer, while Orderoftheday is another interesting newcomer to this sphere.
