7/4
€60,000 Irish point recruit who made a successful start to his hurdle career at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) last month. Almost certainly capable of better again and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty.

Bumper winner last November who returned from wind surgery to make a successful hurdle debut over C&D in October. Too keen when stepped up markedly in trip at Ascot since and should benefit from this return to shorter. Also has a hood refitted.

11/10
Made a winning bumper debut at Kempton in February and bettered that form when third of 20 in a valuable event at Newbury 6 weeks later. Rates a decent hurdle prospect for a stable which gets lots of winners here.

Runner-up sole start in points but no short-term promise on last month's Ffos Las hurdle debut. Tongue tied first time.

Point winner but hasn't shown enough in his 3 bumper starts to think he's likely to make a successful start to his hurdle career now.

Third a bumper at the start of her career but only modest on the Flat since and likely outsider now hurdling.

Three-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much in 3 attempts over hurdles, finishing down the field over C&D latest.

100/1
Comfortably held in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle. Andashan looks very much the yard first string.
|

Has hinted at ability in 2 bumpers/hurdles but unlikely to come into his own until handicapping.

Promising third of 11 in a Downpatrick bumper for Paul Nolan in September. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him now hurdling for new connections.

Made frame first of 3 starts in bumpers for Tom Weston but distant fifth in 2 hurdles for this yard last month.

Useful Flat winner. Only modest form 2 hurdles this autumn but there's surely a bigger performance in him in this sphere before long. Wears first-time blinkers.

Forecasts

Andashan (11/10), Epic West (7/4), Westerton (6/1), Touquet (13/2), Low Expectations (66/1), Dotties Star (80/1), King Of Highways (100/1), Clearisthewater (125/1), Kingston Bresil (150/1), Milan Milos (150/1), Eklil (200/1), Chateau Du Lys (200/1)

12:40 Plumpton - 16 December 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ANDASHAN laid a good platform for hurdling in 2 bumper runs in the spring and is taken to make the most of the 7 lb he receives from last month's Carlisle scorer Epic West. Westerton's Flat ability suggests it's only a matter of time before he posts a bigger performance over hurdles and he could also have a say if reacting positively to blinkers.
