14:03 – Awaythelad
AWAYTHELAD won twice over hurdles last season and got back on track in a change of headgear when second at Doncaster in January, staying on in the closing stages like this longer trip will suit. He looks capable of going one better off his current mark. Shillanavogy is worth another chance back on better ground so is next best ahead of last-time-out winner Finn Lough.
14:37 – We Got Your Back
WE GOT YOUR BACK won back-to-back handicaps at around this trip at Leicester and Catterick before producing a tame effort over further at Leicester last time. He was very easy to back that day, though, on ground which will have been too soft, and he’s well worth another chance to prove himself better than this mark back down in trip and on a sounder surface. Abaya du Mathan won off a similar mark over course and distance in December and is feared most.
15:07 – Percussion
PERCUSSION was well backed when close up behind a couple of useful types when finishing third back in a hunter chase at Ludlow last month, performing better than of late, and he might prove the answer to what looks quite an open race. Willewonga, Master Templar, Minella Trump and the returning Linelee King are others with good claims.
15:42 – Jack Hyde
JACK HYDE has shaped with encouragement on both of his starts over hurdles so far, a bad mistake two from home exaggerating the length he was beaten and, with his latest form proving strong, he’s selected to mirror his bumper exploits by making it third time lucky in this sphere. Cobbler’s Boy and Syllabus, a fair and consistent maiden on the Flat, are a pair of interesting hurdling debutants.
16:12 – Moonshine Man
MOONSHINE MAN was better than the result in a big-field Musselburgh handicap on his most recent outing, having helped force a sound gallop, so he could well be the answer back in maiden company. Whatsyourproblem stepped up on his two previous efforts for his current yard when fourth in a handicap here the previous month and should go well again. I Play County and Ronnies Rules’ hurdling careers haven’t started too promisingly but they shouldn’t be written off given their bumper form.
16:42 – Jasmine Bliss
This will likely rest between JASMINE BLISS and La Pinsonniere, with preference for the former, who appeared to have a bit left up her sleeve when scoring at Ludlow last month, and she remains with potential for better representing a good yard. Jakana and I Am The Moon are both talented mares in their own right but, chances are, they will be doing battle for minor honours this time.
17:15 – Tigers Moon
In a very moderate race, TIGERS MOON appeals most having shown much improved form on handicap debut, particularly as he’s bred to be much better than his current mark. Eric Carmen is the only runner to have won a hurdles race, so he’s respected if able to back up his recent chase win, while Synchronist could be open to progress now sent handicapping.
