Settings
Selected odds by:
Little show in Irish points but was gambled on and made a winning start under Rules in 12-runner novice here (19.2f) last month. That form has taken a few knocks since but he's entitled to progress.
Modest on Flat (stays 1¼m) and well held in 2 novice hurdles.
Has still yet to win a race in either code but has shown fairly useful form, including when second in a first-time visor in 16.6f handicap at Market Rasen 27 days ago. Leading claims.
Well beaten in bumpers and similar story when pulled up on last month's hurdling debut.
Bumper winner/fair hurdler who didn't see things out thoroughly upped in trip after 7 months off when third in slowly-run Newton Abbot novice (21.6f) 22 days ago. Back down in trip.
Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and displayed ability when fourth in a Catterick bumper on debut. Well held at Huntingdon next time but is better judged on his Catterick run.
Well held sole start in bumpers and has unseated her rider early in 2 hurdle runs. Off 6 months. Hooded for 1st time.
Belied market weakness fitted with a hood to make it third time lucky in bumpers in 8-runner event over C&D on yard debut/reappearance last month, dictating. Ought to have a future over hurdles.
Modest in bumpers and has run to only a similar level in a pair of Southwell novice hurdles, though not knocked about. Handicaps presumably up after this.
Forecasts
Escapability (2/1), Some Might Say (11/4), Floating Rock (10/3), Shantou Master (7/2), Minella Beauty (20/1), The Lion Queen (50/1), Amaretto (80/1), Ethandexter (300/1), Maid Of Camelot (300/1)
There's no doubt SOME MIGHT SAY was seen to good effect when opening her account in bumpers over C&D last month, but she's bred to take to obstacles and in a race where it is easy enough to pick holes in those with hurdling form, she could be worth siding with. Escapability ran up to his best in a first-time visor at Market Rasen last time and is feared most.
