Fair on the Flat for William Haggas and opened hurdles account at the eighth attempt in a 2½m maiden here (soft) last week. Shapes as though this trip will be within reach but he'll need to improve for it in order to defy a penalty back in handicap company.
|
Ran no sort of a race on handicap debut at Doncaster in February but has subsequently left that dismal effort well behind, off the mark back from a 5-month break upped to 25f at Huntingdon (good to soft). Rather fortunate that day (left clear 2 out) but 3 lb rise fair and he's a big player.
|
Winner of sole start between the flags but 0-9 under Rules for the Tizzards and didn't show much back hurdling for new yard when returning to action at Worcester in August. Since undergone a wind op and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove.
|
Reliable sort who got the job done in first-time cheekpieces in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) in June. Bettered that when a clear second back from a break at Huntingdon recently and it's not hard to envisage another bold show from this 5-y-o.
|
Maiden who proved disappointing in handful of starts last season but better efforts since returning from a break in September, particularly when chasing home an unexposed type in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle on penultimate start. Not so good back over fences next time and she looks vulnerable.

Forecasts
For Gina (6/4), Boleyn Boy (9/4), Star Legend (4/1), Redbridge Rosie (13/2), Aki Bomaye (14/1)
FOR GINA appears to be going the right way judged o her reappearance second at Huntingdon and, entitled to come on for that run, she could be the answer. The one likely to offer the most resistance is Boleyn Boy, who shed his maiden tag at that course last month and while the outcome probably would've been different had Aldsworth not exited at the second-last, he also appears to be headed in the right direction. Redbridge Rosie and Star Legend look set to scrap it out for minor honours.
