Fairly useful Flat winner (stays 1½m) who had plenty of racing for Jamie Osborne. Fair start to hurdling career when second of 15 at Ballinrobe 4 weeks ago and that puts him right in the mix here.
|
Modest 1¼m winner on the Flat who seemingly ran to a similar level sent hurdling when fifth of 9 at Worcester in July. Better to come somewhere down the line with a hood applied.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who showed similar form over hurdles in the spring, including when second to a subsequent winner in 2m maiden at Huntingdon in May. Occupied same spot at Perth 3 weeks ago and he can make his presence felt again.
|
Improved form when finding only one too good at Taunton in January. Since added a pair of Flat wins to his tally and run at York last time was excusable upped in class. Sharp test will suit and is the one to beat back hurdling.
|
Made third handicap start a winning one at Leicester in May. Didn't look totally straightforward at Southwell last time so remains to be seen how he'll take to hurdling for new connections.
|
Established as modest on the level so looks up against it on this switch of discipline.

Forecasts
Explode (5/6), Crystal Mariner (10/3), Crackalackin (4/1), John Galt (10/1), Happy Chandler (28/1), Pay Attention (50/1)
This sharp test will suit EXPLODE, who should have plenty more to offer in this sphere given his Flat ability. He is therefore marginally preferred to Crystal Mariner and Crackalackin.
