Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

4/5

Hooded when 28/1 winner of 10-runner bumper at Roscommon on debut in September for Kieran Purcell. Changed hands for £85,000 and followed up with the hood left off on Musselburgh hurdling debut (17.4f) 53 days ago, forging clear. Sure to progress and win more races.

Five Dollar Fine²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 101

9/2

Modest hurdler. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 11/2) 22 days ago. More needed back in novice company.

Nab Wood

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

28/1

Court Cave gelding. Dam winning pointer/ran once over fences. Doesn't make a great deal of appeal on paper but is in good hands.

Special Rate^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

9/4

Showed more than he had in bumpers switched to hurdling when second in 14-runner novice at Kelso (18.1f) 29 days ago, staying on. Leading player.

Summergrounds⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

14/1

Showed fair form when in the frame on all 3 starts in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps in this sphere over further after this run.

Form: 244/63-

Monty Nevett²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

66/1

Unplaced in bumpers but showed a bit when seventh of 14 on hurdling debut at Kelso 29 days ago.

Form: 0687-

Rouse³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: J Kington| T: R Menzies

66/1

Poor in bumpers and was behind when falling 2 out on hurdling debut at Sedgefield.

Form: 853F-

Garswood Lady^t1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh

250/1

Well held in a brace of bumpers and tailed off in minor events/handicap on Flat. Tongue tied for hurdling debut and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 69-

Forecasts

Quaresome (4/5), Special Rate (9/4), Five Dollar Fine (9/2), Summergrounds (14/1), Nab Wood (28/1), Monty Nevett (66/1), Rouse (66/1), Garswood Lady (250/1)

There's surely more to come from QUARESOME, who didn't look the finished article when forging clear on his Musselburgh hurdling/stable debut, so he's taken to defy a penalty. Special Rate looks the obvious threat following an improved effort on his hurdling debut at Kelso. Five Dollar Fine may prove best of the rest.
