1/2
Already made a better impression for this yard finishing runner-up off this mark over hurdles on stable debut and has run with credit on the Flat since (winner on AW over 2m). Now returns to hurdling in a weak heat for a yard going well with an eye-catching jockey booking.

Nine hurdles outings have yet to illicit a win although he did show his best form last time returning to hurdles after being tried over fences. Still finished well beaten though in that seller and returning to handicaps still needs help with his mark.

Having shown little in bumpers she nearly caused a major upset on her first hurdles outing over 2m here when a 100/1 shot. Tried over different trips since but hasn't been able to come close to that debut hurdles effort and her mark looks harsh.

16/1
Stable going well but as yet this one has yet to show that much in a trio of maiden hurdles. Has always looked one for low-grade handicaps however and gets her chance off a mark 88 here and worth watching in the market.

5/1
Looked to show plenty of promise in the early days of his career but has struggled since then and only has one win to his name. Has shown a little spark in his last two races (travelled well) but hard to say he has seen the trip out on either occasion.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  79
10/1
Hard to find much hope in his latest starts with his mark sliding rapidly but no sign of any upturn in form. His latest effort is dubious and not one to base any false expectations on.
7
Horse silk
Dizoard23
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-6| J: Ross Chapman(7)| T: I Jardine| OR:  78
25/1
Difficult to anticipate an upturn in form having been disappointing in all her recent starts in various spheres. Showed very little on her last hurdling start (took strong hold) and hard to recommend any involvement here.
8
Horse silk
Exit To Freedomh59
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-2| J: Miss C Walton(3)| T: J S Wainwright| OR:  74| D
50/1
A record of 1/41 isn't one to base too many expectations on and although he showed a little bit more on his penultimate start that wasn't backed up last time. His overall form just isn't good enough to win this though.

Forecasts

Banff (1/2), Apachee Prince (5/1), Flying Jack (13/2), Notnowsam (10/1), Stetsonsnstilettos (16/1), Dizoard (25/1), Reivers Lodge (33/1), Exit To Freedom (50/1)

Verdict

This isn’t a strong contest and Olly Murphy who has made a sparkling start to his training career nay well have found an easy opportunity for BANFF who should really be up to getting a first hurdles win here. Stetsonsnstillettos makes her handicap debut here and provides the biggest danger for another yard in form with most of the others having very poor profiles. Of that bunch Apachee Prince might be able to show a little more but overall he’s not one to rely on.
  1. Banff
  2. Stetsonsnstilettos
