Horse silk
5/1
Failed to complete in points either side off finishing ninth of 21 in a Punchestown bumper in April. Could only consider if backed on this hurdle/yard debut.

5/6
Cost £43,000 after finishing placed on both completed starts in Irish points. Sets out over hurdles in a very winnable race and his yard gets lots of winners here.

Fair form on the Flat/in bumpers but failed to replicate that form in 2 hurdles for Jessica Harrington in Ireland in the summer. Left that stable after finishing well held back on the Flat in June.

Successful in a point in April 2021. Not seen again until fifth in a Ludlow novice claiming hurdle in November 2022 and absent again since.

Brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Western Warhorse. Some promise in bumpers but could only manage seventh of 10 on last month's Huntingdon hurdle debut.

4/1
Fairly useful Flat performer at up to 2m. Well beaten over C&D on hurdle debut back in February 2022 but has been better than ever on the Flat this year and she ought to be up to making an impact in a race like this over hurdles.

Forecasts

Bennettsbridge (5/6), September Power (4/1), West Warhorse (5/1), Ballyvaughan Bay (5/1), Swearer (25/1), Summer Gale (40/1), Little Talks (80/1)

12:10 Fakenham - 19 December 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Olly Murphy Irish point recruit BENNETTSBRIDGE is taken to make a winning start over hurdles, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Although September Power failed to figure on her C&D hurdle debut just under 2 years ago her fairly useful Flat form suggests she should be capable of better in this sphere and she's second choice.
