6/5

Struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in Ireland this summer in 3m Wexford maiden (in cheekpieces) in July. Likely has more to offer for his in-form new trainer.

Form: 3/P7-561

Shakeyatailfeather¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 108

7/4

Fair hurdler who came good at the sixth time of asking in 21.5f Newton Abbot maiden 13 days ago. Steps up in trip again. Prominent showing likely.

Form: 4B22-61

Swapped^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Phillip Armson⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 105| C

5/1

Three chase wins for other yards in the first half of last season but has lost his way badly over fences since, pulling up on 4 of his last 5 starts. Needs a return to hurdles to spark a revival.

Form: 2PP-P4P

Carved In Stone¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: H Palmer

11/1

Doncaster bumper winner last winter. Only modest form in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months (beaten 28 lengths when fourth latterly) but it's still early days for him in this sphere.

Form: 515-74

Forecasts

Sunshine Diamond (6/5), Shakeyatailfeather (7/4), Swapped (5/1), Carved In Stone (11/1), Sox's Sun (250/1)

SUNSHINE DIAMOND gets the nod to build on his Wexford success and make a winning start for new trainer Neil Mulholland. Fellow hurdle winner Shakeyatailfeather is the obvious danger.
