1/1

Improver in handicap hurdles, scoring twice at up to 3m at Southwell and progressed again to make a winning start over fences there, completing a hat-trick in the process. Remains of interest.

28/1

Now 11 lb lower than for his latest success in a Southwell handicap hurdle last summer, but it's been pretty much all downhill since and he needs to bounce back in a major way back over fences.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Horsfall| OR: 83

14/1

Winning pointer but poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Ended spell with previous yard with a career-best second over this C&D last month (subsequently sold for £6,000). Enters calculations.

9/2

Moody individual but in a rich vein of form at present, scoring at Warwick before hitting the frame over this C&D next 2 starts. One to consider in a change of headgear.

Forecasts

Dreamsundermyfeet (1/1), Write It Down (9/2), Flamboyant Joyaux (9/1), Zip Pearl (12/1), O'Faolains Lad (14/1), Le Pogues Storm (14/1), Kilcara (16/1), The Granson (16/1), Fresh New Dawn (25/1), Vouvray (25/1), Double Court (28/1), Yorgonnahearmeroar (33/1), Hot To Trot (80/1)

DREAMSUNDERMYFEET made a winning start over fences in completing a hat-trick at Southwell and should go on improving. He's taken to defy a 5 lb rise at the main expense of Flamboyant Joyaux, who made a respectable start for this yard at Perth. Le Pogues Storm ended his time with Alastair Ralph with a good second over this C&D and is another to consider.
