Smart hurdler who shaped well under some considerate rides in defeat over fences last season. Struggled at the Cheltenham/Aintree Festivals and not knocked about starting out for this yard when second of 3 in Hexham maiden on return. Clear pick on best form.

1/1

Bumper winner who confirmed hurdle debut promise at the second attempt with an impressive display in maiden at Ayr in February. Ran well when second in novice at the same course (21f) in April and he appeals as the type to make up into a better chaser.

Form: 31/2412-

Welonlyhavedone²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: A M Thomson| OR: 130

11/2

Successful hurdling debut at Galway last season but completed only once since for Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Winning pointer but looked in need of the experience sent chasing after a breathing operation/stable switch when last of 3 (11 lengths behind Jeriko du Reponet) at Hexham 3 weeks ago.

Form: FP3PU-3

Forecasts

Jeriko Du Reponet (11/10), Stride On (7/4), Welonlyhavedone (10/3)

STRIDE ON is a very interesting chasing debutant and could be worth chancing over form pick Jeriko du Reponet, who is proving expensive to follow over fences.
