Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

8/1

£45,000 buy after winning point in Ireland in October 2021 but seemingly hard to train having shown just modest form in 2 hurdle starts 13 months apart. Needs this run for a handicap mark.

Form: 1/7-6

Kallow Point⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Mrs M Rowley

66/1

Little promise in 3 runs over hurdles, including on first start for present yard after 2 years off at Hereford in January. Up in trip.

Ki Woo^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 115

13/2

Fair maiden hurdler in France. Hasn't reproduced that sort of form in 2 runs for present yard but it's still early days.

Form: 542-065

River Rider³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: C J Todd| T: S Allwood

2/13

Winning pointer who made the frame sole outing in bumpers and has been placed all 3 starts over hurdles, including when third in listed event at Doncaster (24.4f) 3 weeks ago. Leading claims back down in grade/trip.

Form: 1/4-2223

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 75

100/1

Just poor form over hurdles to date, so easily passed over on these terms back from 12 months off.

Forecasts

Carrig Kate (2/13), Atlantic Lad (2/1), Ki Woo (13/2), Jomig Des Bois (8/1), Thickthorn Tom (20/1), Neptune House (25/1), River Rider (50/1), Kallow Point (66/1), Feryl Beryl (100/1)

ATLANTIC LAD has shown enough on all 3 of his starts to date to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass and, with the emphasis likely to be on speed as opposed to stamina, it's possible he may have too many gears for his chief rival Carrig Kate, who drops back in trip following a good third in a mares listed event at Doncaster. Ki Woo can fill the places.
