Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

6/4

Sholokhov gelding. Won sole start in Irish points and made winning start under Rules in Leicester maiden hurdle 6 weeks ago, creating a good impression. Sure to progress and can defy a penalty.

Form: 1-1

Bridge Road¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

66/1

Has merely hinted at ability in a bumper/maiden/novice hurdles and is probably one for handicaps at longer trips.

€30,000 3-y-o, £27,000 5-y-o, Gentlewave gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Blue Tara. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 2021). One to note in betting.

Forecasts

Sholokjack (6/4), Where's Hector (15/8), Rossbeigh Strand (7/2), Chase Outlaw (10/1), Right Said Ted (22/1), Percy Veering (28/1), Bridge Road (66/1), Johnson's Blue (80/1), Land Of My Delight (100/1), Fenland Tiger (125/1), Follow Your Arrow (150/1), Knot Another One (150/1)

SHOLOKJACK is obviously held in some regard and created a good impression when making a successful start over hurdles at Leicester 6 weeks ago. He can defy a penalty en route to better things. Rossbeigh Strand and Where's Hector can place again.
