Horse silk
20/1
Ran only to a modest level in a pair of bumpers and paid the price for trying to give chase to a superior rival when eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) 28 days ago. Looks a good type physically and may do better.

7/1
Maiden Irish pointer came home eighth of 15 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Ayr (16f, soft) on Rules debut 58 days ago. Unlikely to be of much interest until handicapping.

No better than mid-field in a pair of bumpers and ran only to a poor level when eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) on hurdles bow 28 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and he could make more impact in this weak-looking contest.

Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdles at Ayr. Impossible to fancy.

10/1
Promise when placed on all 3 starts in bumpers but has been decidedly underwhelming in pair of starts over timber so far, only seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 36 days ago. Still holds frame claims in a poor contest.

£18,000 6-y-o, Notnowcato gelding. Dam placed completed start in points. Made frame both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Jan 7). Wouldn't have to be out of the ordinary to reach the placings on Rules debut.

Fairly useful bumper winner has proven far too free and finished down the field on all 3 starts over hurdles. Hood now goes on.

Smart but lightly raced on Flat (barely stays 1¼m) for John & Thady Gosden, albeit well held both starts in 2023. A most intriguing hurdling recruit.

11/10
Fairly useful on Flat for Andrew Balding and shaped most encouragingly on his third start over hurdles when of 13 in novice at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 52 days ago, catching the eye with a smooth forward move from rear. Sets a clear standard of those with hurdling experience.

Forecasts

Schmilsson (11/10), Reach For The Moon (2/1), Benefit Ben (7/1), Raffles Wonder (10/1), Heart Above (10/1), Badlands Boy (20/1), Not Now Tayto (33/1), Fixed Wing (80/1), That One (150/1), Golden Swift (400/1)

14:10 Sedgefield - 7 February 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A very shallow contest in which SCHMILSSON is preferred to interesting hurdles newcomer Reach For The Moon, Olly Murphy's gelding clearly inferior to his market rival on the Flat but having improved with each run over hurdles so far and perhaps possessing a more solid profile to one who clearly hasn't been the easiest to get to the track. Badlands Boy is a very modest pick for third.
