Selected odds by:
Fair handicapper on Flat for Harry Eustace. Showed a bit when sixth of 8 on recent Newcastle hurdle debut (2m, soft) but possibly more one for handicaps in this sphere.
|
Won a course bumper in December. Not up to a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival since but he should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.
|
No promise in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle at Kelso.
|
Bumper winner who has shown promise when runner-up on both hurdle starts, with the form of his latest 2½m Newcastle near miss boosted by the third, fourth and sixth winning since. The one to beat.
|
Fair form when placed in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 20.5f here this winter. Likely he'll be in the shake-up again.
|
Showed a bit when fourth in a Musselburgh bumper at the turn of the year. Quickly switches to hurdles. One of 4 runners from his yard.
|
Point winner who has shown promise when runner-up over 17f at Sedgefield and Carlisle since switched to hurdles. He should be on the premises again.
|
Runner-up twice in points but more one for the longer term judged on his performances in a Carlisle bumper and 20.5f course maiden hurdle since switching to Rules.
|
Jack Hobbs filly who was a remote fifth in a Perth bumper last summer. Watching brief advised now hurdling after 7 months off.
|
Modest form at best in a trio of bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies and remote sixth on C&D hurdle/stable debut 11 days ago.

Forecasts
Hombre De Guerra (7/4), Hazy Glen (2/1), Ridin Solo (4/1), Ayiko (5/1), Tommys Law (22/1), Reforme (40/1), Aldbourne (50/1), Balfour Girl (200/1), Flying Sandpiper (250/1), Suleiman Artist (400/1)
The form of HAZY GLEN's close second at Newcastle at the end of January has received a few boosts since and he's the one to beat dropping back in trip. Course bumper winner Ayiko is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline, while Ridin Solo and Hombre de Guerra have been placed in similar events this season and should be competitive again.
- Hazy Glen2/1
