Made a winning hurdle debut at Exeter in November and useful form when placed on next 2 starts. Below par when remote last of 3 in Exeter listed novice in February but the one to beat if bouncing back to his best.
|
Fair form over hurdles, opening his account in a 7-runner novice at Ludlow (2m, heavy) in February. Let down by jumping when pulled up at Huntingdon since. Has a bit to find on form with the other winners in this line-up but should hit the frame if back to his best.
|
Placed on all 3 starts in bumpers prior to making a successful switch to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy) in March. Something can't have been right when down the field at Taunton on Thursday and can only watch turned out again quickly.
|
Fairly useful staying handicap on the Flat but well below that level in 2 hurdles before Christmas. Also below par back on the Flat this year and probably more one for handicaps in this sphere.
|
Runner-up on the first of 3 outings in bumpers. Has shown a bit of promise in 2 novices at Ludlow since switching to hurdles but he's probably more one for handicaps after this.
|
Unplaced both starts in Irish points and remote fourth on 19.5f course hurdle debut 18 days ago. Down in trip.
|
Modest Flat winner. Likely outsider on hurdle debut.
|
Fair staying handicapper on Flat but pulled up on Chepstow hurdle debut over Christmas. Off since.
|
Fair winner on Flat but more one for handicaps in this sphere judged on his efforts at Wincanton and Newbury in recent months.
|
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for the Gosdens and readily got off the mark over hurdles in 7-runner juvenile at Catterick (2m, soft) in February. Open to further progress.
|
Modest winner on Flat for John Flint but has offered little 2 hurdles for this yard since returning from an 18-month absence. A first-time tongue tie needs to transform him.
|
Ended his time on the Flat (for Hugo Palmer) out of form and no real promise in 2 hurdles last month.
|
Got off the mark on the Flat at Wolverhampton last month but he's only modest in that sphere and it'll be a bit of a surprise were he to make a significant impact on this hurdle debut.

Forecasts
Insurrection (4/7), Maasai Mara (10/3), Jour D'Evasion (9/2), King Of Tara (17/2), Captains Road (25/1), Zhang Fei (80/1), Chevington (80/1), Ocean Ridge (80/1), Blow Your Horn (100/1), Dragonball Prince (100/1), Home And Dry (200/1), El Vigaro (200/1), Gerrots (200/1), Too Shy Shy (250/1)
INSURRECTION has been given a bit of time since his slightly disappointing run at Exeter in February and can bounce back to form and prove too strong for Catterick juvenile winner Maasai Mara. Jour d'Evasion may prove best of the remainder.
