Bathara^t⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| C

15/2

Warwick bumper winner in October but has made a discouraging start to his hurdling career.

Form: 4/12P4-

Mr Rafiki^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

10/1

Showed more than in his sole outing in bumpers 6 months earlier (had breathing op in interim) when fourth of 11 in 2½m maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2½m, soft) last month. Likely to improve.

Form: 44-

Rebel Tribesman⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 109| BF

1/3

Fairly useful ex-Irish bumper winner who has found only one too good in a pair of Sedgefield maidens (17f). Surely won't remain a maiden for much longer in this sphere with this step up in trip also in his favour.

Form: 3/122-

Royal Rocket²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle

9/2

Didn't last out on sole outing in bumpers but left hurdling debut form behind when third of 7 in 19f novice (22/1) at Taunton (good) 28 days ago. Will be suited by a return to around 3m before long but has to enter the reckoning all the same.

Form: 653-

The Craftymaster¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: A W Carroll

22/1

Fair performer on the Flat, resuming winning ways in a change of headgear at Lingfield in March (2m). Found the test inadequate sent hurdling when third in 7-runner maiden at Hereford (2m) just over a fortnight ago. This trip more suitable.

Form: 3

Blue's Secret Gem¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen

40/1

Little promise in 2 bumpers/Fakenham maiden hurdle.

Form: 43-7

Madmoiselle Moss^h²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: Tracey Leeson

300/1

Well beaten in bumpers and fared no better sent hurdling at Fontwell 26 days ago.

Form: 987-

Forecasts

Rebel Tribesman (1/3), Royal Rocket (9/2), Bathara (15/2), Mr Rafiki (10/1), The Craftymaster (22/1), Blue's Secret Gem (40/1), Alex The Great (150/1), Madmoiselle Moss (300/1)

REBEL TRIBESMAN has been turned over at short prices on both his starts over hurdles, but he was unlucky to bump into a high-quality recruit from the Flat on his most recent outing, so he's well worth another chance. Mr Rafiki and Royal Rocket are the obvious threats.
