Got off the mark in a Market Rasen bumper back in February prior to finding Grade 2 company too much at Aintree. Justified support upped in trip when making a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) last month, jumped well. Carries a penalty for that success but looks sure to progress.
|
Easy point winner in Ireland from successful jumps family. £37,000 buy but finished well held on both starts under Rules, latterly on hurdles debut at Ayr in January on final start for Stuart Coltherd. Upped markedly in trip but may be a longer-term project for new yard.
|
Walk In The Park filly is going the right way, solid form when third over 2½m at Perth and improved dropped back in trip when runner-up in a 2m Hexham novice last time, pulling clear of rest. Likely to improve again stepping back up in distance.
|
Point winner who was placed all 5 starts over hurdles last term, including 3m listed race at Doncaster. Best forgiven odds-on defeat when last seen in March, never travelling (said to be in season). Sets the standard if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. Engaged 12.17 Wetherby Saturday.
|
Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers last season and showed a bit more on hurdling debut at Carlisle (17f) last month, outpaced 3 out and stayed on. Longer trip will suit but may be better off in handicaps.
|
No impact in a trio of bumpers for Sandy Thomson last term and fared no better on hurdle/stable debut at Kelso (100/1) 19 days ago. Upped in trip but difficult to make a case for.
|
€100,000 3-y-o. Well-bred filly was sent off favourite when well held third in a 5-runner bumper at Perth on debut and likely needed the run on reappearance/hurdling bow at Navan last month. Longer trip will suit and she's likely to do better at some stage.

Forecasts
Carrig Kate (6/4), Biglesisback (2/1), La Zoubida (3/1), My My My Delilah (12/1), Zhanma Enki (14/1), Bennys Jenny (100/1), Tiggerelli (100/1)
Her most recent hurdles run somewhat tempers enthusiasm but CARRIG KATE sets the standard on what she's achieved so far (third in a mares' listed race last season) and may be able to get off the mark under Rules in first-time cheekpieces. Biglesisback is progressing nicely and looks the main danger stepping back up in trip, while La Zoubida carries a penalty for her Sedgefield success but should still have more to offer.
