9/2

Point-to-point winner and a promising 10L second in a Fakenham novice hurdle over 2m4f on good-to-soft going on Rules debut in December. Disappointed at Warwick (2m5f, good-to-soft) later that month and a notable runner on this occasion.

Form: 1/27

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

1/4

Placed in a bumper on good ground at Aintree (2m1f) last October and highly tried on next two starts. Good ½L second over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon (good) in a maiden hurdle last time and likely to run well once more.

Form: 4-3762

Would You Bypass¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: T J FitzGerald

12/1

Point-to-point winner on good ground at Tinahely in November but pulled up in that sphere next time out. Decent Rules debut when 23L third in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield (soft) recently and is an interesting runner on this occasion.

Form: 5-F51P3

Forecasts

Poperinghe Ginger (1/4), Copper Gone West (9/2), Would You Bypass (12/1), Jo Cashflow (33/1)

POPERINGHE GINGER showed good form when runner-up last time out and she is taken to go one better in this opening mares maiden hurdle. Copper Gone West, a point-to-point winner can put a disappointing latest effort behind her to finish runner-up ahead of Would You Bypass who is another to have won a point-to-point.
