Off the mark at the fourth attempt between the flags in December and put that experience to good use when making all in a 13-runner maiden at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) on Rules debut 3 weeks ago. Obvious claims despite the penalty.

Point winner who bettered his rather disappointing Rules debut display in a bumper when finishing third of 11 starting out over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) during the Christmas period. Claims if able to build on that here.

Showed a bit only start in bumpers but could hardly have shown any less sent hurdling at Exeter last month.

Winner of sole outing in points last spring but it's hard to view his recent Rules debut effort in a Sedgefield bumper in a positive light.

Didn't show much on debut in a bumper here in November and similar story switched to hurdles at Southwell the following month.

Fair fourth in a bumper on his introduction here last February but has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including when returning to action following a wind op at Chepstow last month. Hurdles debut.

Modest fifth in a Ludlow bumper in October and well beaten both starts over hurdles since.

Half-sister to fair hurdler Crushed and debut effort in a Musselburgh bumper last month wasn't completely devoid of promise. Entitled to come on for that run and may well be seen in a better light now switched to hurdles.

Imperial Monarch mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m chase winner Doc Carver. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (21f-29f winner) Trust Fund. Probably best watched on debut, unless the market suggests otherwise.

Clearly in need of the experience when sixth in the 13-runner Taunton maiden won by The Gypsy Davey. Will be more street-wise this time but it's likely that she'll come into her own when tackling longer trips in due course.

Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland, winning a 1m Gowran claimer last May. However, offered little in a couple of juvenile hurdles (when trained by Milton Harris) and failed to land a blow returned to the level on debut for this yard last time.

Forecasts

The Gypsy Davey (7/4), Secret Sauce (3/1), Too Much Hammer (11/2), Timeforarum (13/2), Isholo Du Vivien (7/1), Jacksbar (10/1), Callan Queen (22/1), Blow Your Horn (25/1), Barbie Girlz (25/1), Get The Value (25/1), Creamoverpeaches (50/1), Just Aidan (125/1), Joker Jack (200/1), Pearly King (300/1)

16:00 Hereford - 29 January 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

It was probably a slightly stronger race than this that THE GYPSY DAVEY landed on his Rules debut at Taunton and he looks capable of defying a penalty. Isholo du Vivien didn't shape badly switched to hurdles at Kelso and he gets the nod ahead of Callan Queen, who showed signs of ability in a Musselburgh bumper, for forecast purposes.
