Selected odds by:
Warwick bumper winner who shaped with promise when sixth on hurdles debut at Ascot (19.2f) in November. Failed to build on it when occupying same position at Plumpton following month but worth another chance. Tongue strap on 1st time.
|
Maiden Irish pointer and looks a low-level handicap project under Rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
|
Just minor promise in bumper/brace of novice hurdles. Type to do better in handicaps after this.
|
Wide-margin winner of his last 2 starts between the flags but (50/1) only tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Sort to do better in due course.
|
€20,000 3-y-o, Golden Lariat gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Dingo Dollar, stays 4m, and half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 2¾m hurdle winner Give Me A Cuddle. Fourth sole start in point bumper (Mar 2022). Worth a market check,
|
Fair form shown when twice fourth in bumpers and has gone with some promise when placed over hurdles over C&D and at Cheltnham. May do better still. Solid form claims.
|
Ocovango gelding. Closely related to point winner Killinkere and half-brother to point winner Princess Scorpion. Dam bumper/fair 2m hurdle winner. Comfortably won sole point start in October and changed hands for £100,000 since. Rates a big player now going hurdling for top yard.
|
Encouraging third on only start in bumpers in November 2021 but not at that level both starts over hurdles 10 months apart. Goes up in trip with more required.
|
€12,500 3-y-o, French Navy gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Smart Illusion. Dam, fair maiden hurdler and 1½m winner on Flat. Easily off the mark at the second attempt in points in November so must enter calculations for his new yard.
|
Little show in two bumpers but (150/1) caught the eye under considerate handling when fifth of 15 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 34 days ago. Up in trip. More to come.
|
Successful on last of 4 starts in points but brushed aside pretty readily in a Warwick bumper last month. Needs to step forward on his hurdling bow.
|
€35,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Attracted support but ran to just a poor level on debut in Hereford bumper in November.
|
Never dangerous in 2 bumpers and has fared no better switched to hurdles the last twice.

Mylesfromwicklow (13/8), Militaire (15/8), Regal Blue (4/1), Filanderer (13/2), Scarpered (25/1), Stellar Stream (33/1), Realm Of Glory (33/1), Wonder Of The Seas (66/1), Larrikin (80/1), Imperial Measure (80/1), Keaden Hill (100/1), Mangrove River (100/1), Frankie Roy (150/1), Palmagreen (200/1)
MYLESFROMWICKLOW joined the Skeltons for £100,000 after posting a comfortable points win in October so looks the way to go now sent hurdling for his in-form yard. Militaire rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and is next on the list ahead of another point scorer in the shape of Regal Blue. Filanderer remains with potential and completes the shortlist.
