50/1

Brother to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Invitation Only but was held back by inexperience when well held in a C&D bumper on debut in January. Has since had wind surgery. Also tongue tied.

5/6

Successful in bumpers at Huntingdon and Kelso either side of a pair of creditable runner-up efforts. Seems sure to play a big part on hurdle debut.

1/1

Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers and ran to a similar switched to hurdles when second to an impressive winner at Sedgefield (16.8f) 13 days ago. Hood goes on and likely to be thereabouts.

Forecasts

Arthur's Seat (5/6), Minella Plus (1/1), Socialist Agenda (7/4), Chemical Warfare (40/1), Songofthelark (50/1)

This promises to be the ideal test for SOCIALIST AGENDA, who was impressive in winning all 3 bumpers starts in 2020, so he's fancied to defy a 13-month absence and make a successful hurdling bow. Arthur's Seat also had a productive time of things in bumpers and looks an obvious threat, as does recent Sedgefield second Minella Plus.
