5/4

Fair 1m winner on Flat for Karl Burke and improved to get off the mark in this sphere on handicap debut over C&D in May. Excuses at Ffos Las but back on track when never-nearer third at Market Rasen.

Form: 763-153

Island Mahee¹¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 110

4/5

Improved to get off the mark in 19.7f handicap at Musselburgh in March. Good third at Cork (2m) the following month, so warrants respect back from a break.

Petite Rhapsody²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 92

11/1

Showed more than he'd done in bumpers when third in a small-field maiden over C&D in May, but below that level both starts since.

Form: 4/00-375

Turbo Command⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton

50/1

Fairly useful on the Flat for M. Halford but only up to 1m and did nothing on Kelso hurdling debut in May to suggest he's going to make a hurdler.

Well beaten in a bumper/novice hurdle 8 months apart.

Forecasts

Island Mahee (4/5), Wicklow Flyer (1/1), Hooroo (5/4), Petite Rhapsody (11/1), Turbo Command (50/1), Deerfoot (80/1), Solway Mouse (150/1)

HOOROO confirmed that his Ffos Las run hadn't done him justice when third at Market Rasen earlier in the month, and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Island Mahee is the obvious threat.
