Proved a different proposition to hurdling debut when getting up late to win 10-runner maiden over C&D in December. That was a weak affair, but this lacks depth too.
|
Showed only a bit in a Ludlow bumper on NH debut, but he shaped better sent hurdling when runner-up in a C&D maiden last month, which puts him firmly in the picture here.
|
Stowaway gelding who appeals on paper, but he could run to only a modest level in a pair of bumpers back in 2019.
|
Hard to warm to on the strength of what he's shown in a bumper and 2 starts in this sphere.
|
Poor in bumpers and similar form over hurdles. Handicaps presumably up after this.
|
Maiden pointer who offered little on Chepstow hurdling debut 15 days ago. Likely to be brought along steadily.
|
Modest form on hurdling debut but well held since.
|
Bred to need time and distance and shaped that way in an Exeter bumper on debut. Similar story in a novice hurdle over C&D 16 days ago.
|
Poor in bumpers and was never on terms on recent hurdling debut over C&D.
|
From a successful NH family but offered little in bumpers and fared little better on hurdling debut here in November.
|
Second at Auteuil (for Guillaume Macaire) and easily went one better in a Chepstow juvenile. Reportedly made a noise when pulled up in Grade 2 next time and has since had a wind op. Also tongue tied.
|
£5,200 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Southern Sam, and half-sister to fair hurdler The Big Dipper. Dam (c86/h102) 2m-19f hurdle winner.
|
Well beaten completed start over hurdles.
|
Dual winning Irish pointer who has been well held both starts over hurdles, though did hint at ability last time.

Forecasts
Hell Red (4/11), Blumen Glory (3/1), Pol Crocan (17/2), Doyen Queen (18/1), Earl Of Wisdom (50/1), Fanfan La Colmine (50/1), Captain Ivan (50/1), Feu Des Malberaux (50/1), Getaway Cory (100/1), Bees And Honey (150/1), Mr P (200/1), King Orry (200/1), Travelling Max (200/1), D'edge Of Glory (200/1)
HELL RED had a valid excuse for such a poor showing at Cheltenham in November and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get back on track following a break/wind operation. Pol Crocan is burdened with a penalty for winning a really weak affair over C&D in December, so Blumen Glory is second choice.

- BLUMEN GLORY (IRE)
