Cusack Park²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

25/1

Disappointed bearing in mind bumper debut promise when only sixth of 8 at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 22 days ago. Switches to hurdles now.

Form: 5536-

Haarar¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

9/4

Showed a lot more than first time up over hurdles when second at Uttoxeter (15.8f) last month and found only one too good back on the level at Thirsk 10 days ago. Can progress further as a hurdler given his Flat form and very much of interest.

Form: 02-

Ill Reef^h,t1⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young

125/1

Regressive in bumpers and has made little impact in a brace of novice hurdles. Sets out for another new stable in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 0/F5-

Jackpot Cash^h1⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 101

7/1

Improved from hurdling debut when third of 8 in a Ludlow novice (15.8f, soft) in February but failed to improve with his response off the bridle and again found little at Huntingdon last time. Hood on for 1st time.

Form: 5436-

Just Gino¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

9/4

Bought for £100,000 after winning sole start in Irish points in March and shaped as if better for the run on his hurdle/Rules debut at Bangor in December, racing freely and fading. That form has worked out and he's likely to improve.

Form: 1/5-

Jysuis⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: S G West

80/1

Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers in France but has shown very little both starts over hurdles for new stable.

Form: 309-

Kioto Sun^t¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

10/3

Ran to a fair level when third in Ffos Las bumper last autumn and filled the same position under a considerate ride on his hurdle debut there back in November. Seemingly not the easiest to train but entitled to improve.

Form: 3/3-

Scalloway Castle^t1¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

20/1

No promise in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle. Has left Philip Kirby. Tongue strap on for 1st time (also had breathing op).

Form: 0/7P-

Ravanelli⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: J Candlish

80/1

Tailed off both starts over hurdles.

Form: 379-

Darquesse^h1⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: Miss C Dyson

250/1

Looks of no account on early evidence. Hooded for 1st time.

Form: 0PPP-9

Pacific¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: M Keighley

33/1

Looks one for low-grade handicaps a bit further down the line.

Form: 05-

Amberelli

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley

14/1

Schiaparelli filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 19f/2½m hurdle winner High Treason and fair hurdler Steal My Sunshine. Makes appeal on pedigree and well worth a check in the betting with Sean Bowen booked.

Form:

Kuma Beach⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed| T: L Morgan

150/1

Showed nothing in a C&D bumper last month.

Forecasts

Haarar (9/4), Just Gino (9/4), Kioto Sun (10/3), Jackpot Cash (7/1), Amberelli (14/1), Scalloway Castle (20/1), Cusack Park (25/1), Pacific (33/1), Jysuis (80/1), Ravanelli (80/1), Ill Reef (125/1), Kuma Beach (150/1), Darquesse (250/1)

HAARAR can go on progressing as a hurdler given his fairly useful Flat form and is narrowly preferred to expensive Irish pointer Just Gino, who contested a race that's worked out well on his Rules debut at Bangor back in December and seems sure to improve. Kioto Sun is presumably not the easiest to train but still has to enter calculations for an in-form stable.
