Battle Stride^t⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: R J ArmsonWS

80/1

Modest Flat maiden for Michael Bell. Only eighth of 11 in juvenile (150/1) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) on yard/hurdles debut 71 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code with something to prove.

Form: 8

Jet Packer²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: J R Boyle

9/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who comes here in decent nick from that sphere. Much respected now going hurdling.

Form:

No Release^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

14/1

Modest maiden on the level for Ed Dunlop. Tongue tied when a solid third for his new handler in 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago so can't be discounted starting out in this sphere with tongue strap on again.

Form:

Pistrucci²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

12/1

Modest maiden on Flat and he came in a well-held fourth of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft, 80/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 4

Stardrop^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen

2/11

A fairly useful 1m2f scorer on the Flat. 7/2, raced freely and faded from last flight when second of 3 in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) on NH debut 9 days ago. Holds leading claims.

Form: 2

Africa Charm²⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver

28/1

Modest 1m maiden on the level for Richard Hannon. Changed hands for 8,000 gns in January and needs to hit the ground running now going hurdling for her new stable after an absence.

Stardrop (2/11), Jet Packer (9/1), Pistrucci (12/1), No Release (14/1), Africa Charm (28/1), Battle Stride (80/1)

STARDROP was much the best of these on the Flat and is taken to build on his hurding debut second at Market Rasen and get off the mark. Both Jet Packer (second choice) and No Release failed to win on the level but go jumping in decent form so look the pair to give James Owen's juvenile most to do.
