Point/bumper winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 7-runner novice at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago, keeping on gamely. Should progress further. Player.
|
Winning pointer who has shown ability in a bumper and 2 hurdles under Rules. Off for nearly 2 years before fifth of 13 for new yard at Newbury in November so he's entitled to come on for the outing.
|
€35,000 3-y-o. Workforce gelding. Fourth both starts in Irish points (latest Apr 2023). Market can prove a good guide on his hurdle debut.
|
Bought for £95,000 after landing a maiden point. Showed promise when fourth in Chepstow maiden hurdle for his new yard but came in last of five at Ascot subsequently. Worth another chance.
|
Adlerflug gelding who regressed from an encouraging bumper debut for Paul Nicholls, given a (second) breathing operation prior to a low-key return when ninth in Lingfield bumper. Lots more needed now going hurdling for his new yard.
|
Some promise when fifth in Taunton bumper and 2m Kempton novice hurdle first 2 starts. Very testing ground might have been against him when down the field at Newbury since. No surprise were he to bounce back.
|
Little impact in 3 bumpers so lots more is required now going hurdling.
|
No show in a pair of bumpers and juvenile hurdles this winter. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Walks Like The Man (11/10), Saladins Son (13/8), Crypto Currency (7/1), Seaside Legend (12/1), Johnny Jump Up (16/1), Star Of Affinity (18/1), No Guarantee (200/1), J'ventile (200/1)
WALKS LIKE THE MAN has to concede weight all round but displayed a willing attitude when opening his account at Plumpton and can make light of his 6 lb penalty. Saladins Son has the form to play a part and can chase home Anthony Charlton's 6-y-o, ahead of the lightly-raced Crypto Currency.
