Selected odds by:
Jeremy half-brother to bumper winners Foggy's Wall and Suncroft, out of an unraced half-sister to the dam of Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle winner Breedsbreeze. Cost €65,000 last year, and market should reveal expectations.
Returned from a long rules absence in August, and has been soundly beaten in three starts over hurdles at Fontwell. No reason to expect much better here.
Makes no appeal on what he's achieved over hurdles in two starts, but definite promise on sole bumper start, and will probably improve at some point. Needs this for a handicap mark.
Muhtathir half-brother to useful hurdler Bondage among others. Not an expensive purchase at £14,000, but still needs a market check on debut.
Placed on first two starts in bumpers, and respected on that evidence, but pulled too hard last time, and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential over hurdles.
Best Flat form on fibresand, and looked a hard ride on final start for Archie Watson at Haydock. Certainly has the ability to win races over hurdles, but temperament a slight concern starting out for new yard.
Maiden under both codes after 19 starts, but is at least running to a consistent level over hurdles, and holds solid place claims on his latest second of 11 to Thistle Do Nicely in a maiden at Wincanton.
Didn't take to blinkers on latest Flat start, and well held on previous try in this sphere, but balance of his form on the level suggests he should be competitive with more experience.
Recorded an easy Flat win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in August, and made a very promising start to life over hurdles when neck second of 5 to Earth Moor in a 2m2½f maiden at Exeter. Drop in trip should suit, and will improve.
Best effort in three starts over hurdles when 3¼L third of 7 to Crushed in a C&D maiden last time. More to find if she's to improve on that placing.
Forecasts
Marettimo (2/1), Zoffany Bay (9/4), Looks Frozen (6/1), Stormingin (8/1), Fairway Freddy (12/1), Champions Club (14/1), Venetian Proposal (28/1), Mach One (33/1), Further North (40/1), Clive Clifton (150/1)
Marettimo sets a modest standard, and remains a maiden, so looks set to finish in the frame, although may struggle to contain the less-exposed pair Zoffany Bay and STORMINGIN, with the latter a sporting pick given he iss the best of these on the Flat and wasn't knocked about on his sole start over timber.
- Stormingin
- Zoffany Bay
- Marettimo
