Dual bumper winner who was well backed for hurdles debut at Kelso (2m) 3 weeks ago but was never really a factor, while he also bled. Turned out again quickly stepped up in trip and interesting to see if the money comes again.
|
Fair form in bumpers last season but easy to back and well held on hurdles bow at Ffos Las (20f) on return 17 days ago.
|
Experienced pointer (won at fifth attempt in February) but looked one for later on in this sphere as he finished well held on hurdles debut over this trip at Carlisle 3 weeks ago.
|
Runner-up completed start in Irish points in January and a £50,000 buy. From a decent jumping family and worth a look on hurdles debut.
|
Placed on first of 2 starts in bumpers but has been held back by his attitude since, taking little interest over hurdles again on return at Carlisle 3 weeks ago.
|
Bumper winner and fairly useful hurdler, placed the last twice. Held in third at Galway (22f, heavy) in first-time blinkers latest but that was a much deeper race than this and he should take the beating.
|
Third in Irish point on debut in May 2021. Long absence to overcome and probably best watched.
|
Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt and bought for 40,000 gns. Yard have recently introduced a couple of useful prospects from the pointing field to win first time up in this sphere and he's got to be of interest. Had breathing operation/tongue tied.
|
Seemed to show a bit more on second run in bumpers in February but was soon done with on hurdles debut/return at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Up in trip.

Forecasts
Sam's Choice (8/13), Call Me Harry (4/1), Home Sweet Highway (13/2), Step Above (12/1), Hattons Gardens (16/1), Duke Of Deception (28/1), San Miguel (33/1), Master Of The Malt (150/1), Bolt Man (150/1)
SAM'S CHOICE was no match for a couple of useful prospects at Galway 10 days ago and could be hard to beat judged on the pick of his hurdles form in Ireland. Home Sweet Highway is interesting on debut for Donald McCain, as is Irish point winner Step Above for Lucinda Russell.
