Crisis Of Identity⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Lund

50/1

Unplaced in Irish points and just poor form in a brace of bumpers, so hard to fancy on hurdles debut up in trip.

Form: 08555-4

Fortunate Fred^t¹⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 112

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules who posted good second of 8 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) in September 2020. Failed to match that form in a first-time tongue strap 14 months on at Market Rasen but shouldn't be written off yet.

Form: 33F2/5-

Goaheadwiththeplan¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 101

11/1

Showed his first form for his current yard on the back of a breathing operation/15 months off when third in a 19f novice at Warwick 2 weeks ago. Is no banker to build on that, though.

Form: 0706P/3

Belles Benefit^h³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 109

10/11

Fair maiden hurdler who produced his best effort to date when third of 15 in a maiden at Cork (24.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Subsequently sold from S. Curling for £21,000 and leading claims on yard debut in a refitted hood.

Form: F5239-3

Gata Ban¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

9/2

20,000 gns 5-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam (h79), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Kings Rapid. Cosily off mark in Irish points at the third attempt recently, so much respected now switching to Rules.

Form: B-41

Sunline²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

200/1

Behind in various events on the Flat and has shown nothing either start over hurdles.

Form: 6-P

Forecasts

Belles Benefit (10/11), Fortunate Fred (9/4), Gata Ban (9/2), Goaheadwiththeplan (11/1), Crisis Of Identity (50/1), Sunline (200/1)

BELLES BENEFIT is still a maiden but she posted her best effort to date when third at Cork last month, and with the performance supported by the timefigure, she looks the most persuasive option on her yard debut. Recent point winner Gata Ban and Fortunate Fred are the obvious threats.
