Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (7/1) at this course (18.7f, soft) 40 days ago but shaped better than beaten distance suggests. Blinkers on first time.

50/1

Eleventh of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft, 250/1) 19 days ago and probably best to look elsewhere.

13/2

Keen-going maiden, last seen when sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16.4f, good). Still learning his job that day and interesting on return to course after 7-month break.

9/2

Lightly-raced type who was fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 13 days ago. Raced too keenly and can do better if learning to settle. Wears hood for first-time today.

Forecasts

Ned In The Park (5/4), Solsbury Hill (9/2), Hackney Hill (13/2), The Dawn (11/1), Way Down South (12/1), Walk In The Dark (14/1), Annamaymurt (16/1), I Ballyadam Moon (20/1), Master Of The Sums (25/1), Pointe A Pitre (25/1), Roc My Haarth (28/1), The Reel Martello (28/1), Garde My Fortune (33/1), Carricktriss (50/1), Marine Ranger (50/1), Restless Lady (50/1)

The lightly-raced HACKNEY HILL was still learning on job when last seen on the track, and he looks capable of progressing now returning to action following a 211-day break. Ned In The Park showed promise in bumpers and is interesting on hurdles debut, while I Ballyadam Moon's latest run looks too bad to be true.
