Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for David O'Meara (stays 10.5f), below form final start in 2023. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 9 months off at Hexham in June and should do better at some stage.

7/1
Fairly useful stayer on the level and has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles, finding just one too good on debut for this yard at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) in May. Run best excused at Hexham the following month and must enter calculations.

Winning pointer who failed to justify support sent hurdling when only fourth of 12 on Rules debut here (20.2f) 44 days ago. Tongue strap quickly applied.

Fairly useful Flat winner who shaped well when runner-up in a Stratford maiden in July, going with enthusiasm. Failed to build on the promise of that run in a first time tongue strap when only fifth back there last time but it remains early days.

Pulled up both starts in points and offered little on hurdling debut at this course (20.2f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Has left Stuart Crawford.

Originally trained by Aidan O'Brien before winning 4 times at up to 1¼m on the Flat for Michael Appleby. Stepped up on his hurdling debut effort when second of 12 in a Stratford novice (16.3f) 27 days ago and has solid claims on that form.

20/1
Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara and left his previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a Hereford maiden in May. Didn't make much impact in a Uttoxeter handicap the following month and ran even worse at Worcester last time. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Matched hurdling debut form when second of 14 in maiden at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 33 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Placed in points and improved on debut form in a first-time hood when winning 14-runner bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 22 days ago. Needs considering on hurdle bow.

Forecasts

United Front (11/4), Southey (9/2), Cabra Lady (5/1), Polling Day (13/2), Byron Hill (7/1), Auld Toon Loon (7/1), Kells And Connor (15/2), Kentucky Bluegrass (20/1), Sheriff Haskell (150/1), Apples Destiny (150/1), Golden Swift (150/1)

16:30 Perth - 17 August 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

UNITED FRONT stepped up on his hurdling debut form when second at Stratford last month and providing he settles better, there should be more to come from Fergal O'Brien's charge. Byron Hill and bumper-winner Cabra Lady head the opposition.
