11/4

Well-held third sole start in bumpers, but offered more sent hurdling for new yard when second in a Bangor novice (16.7f) 31 days ago and rates a likely improver now stepping up in trip.

2/1

Ran to just a poor level only start in bumpers, but left that form well behind switched to hurdling up in trip when second of 7 in Southwell novice (20.4f) 29 days ago. Open to further improvement.

28/1

Showed more than first time up over hurdles when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle over this C&D (soft) 30 days ago, though was probably flattered in a steadily-run affair.

8/1

5/2

Without a win over hurdles but has shown fairly useful form, creditable sixth of 13 on return in 3m handicap at Uttoxeter 87 days ago. Firmly in the mix back in maiden company.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood

66/1

£23,000 Mahler gelding. Showed some ability when second in a small-field Ffos Las bumper on debut 19 months ago and this longer trip ought to suit now hurdling.

Forecasts

Bangers And Cash (2/1), Kingsplace (5/2), Ballybegg (11/4), Honorary Colonel (8/1), Flann (12/1), Lucky Lara (18/1), Glance From Clover (28/1), Sendhervictoria's (50/1), Pebbly New Moon (66/1), Niche Player (100/1), Curio Bay (100/1), Graceful Abbie (125/1), Canford Star (150/1), Danilo D'Airy (150/1), D'edge Of Glory (200/1), Skating Away (200/1)

BALLYBEGG ran to a fair level behind a potentially useful sort at Bangor 31 days ago, and rates a likely improver now stepping up in trip, so his claims appear to be as good as any. Bangers And Cash and Kingsplace are considered the main threats.
