10st 10lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson at up to 1m4f; changed hands for 25,000gns last July and this is his first run since; has joined a good yard for his hurdle career and could have a bright future in this code; one of two for the stable and a market check is advised. |

Two costly defeats since handicapping in cheekpieces, having been gelded over the winter, latterly from the front upped to 1m4f; no obvious reason he won't go well again but he needs to find more from somewhere. |

Has shown some promise when making the frame on his first two starts (2m, good to soft/good); his form isn't overly strong but it's better than any of the others have achieved over hurdles; respected. |

11st 5lb |
Proved himself a useful Flat handicapper, winning from a BHA mark of 93 at Haydock (2m) in May 2023; seems to be making progress over hurdles, his recent Wetherby third (2m maiden, good; post wind surgery) his best effort yet; merits respect upped-in-trip for the McCain/Hughes partnership. |

Useful on the Flat; unable to transfer that ability to hurdles this winter on his first two attempts but he's had wind surgery since and could have lots more to offer in this code; possible player. |

Unable to threaten on either start when fifth in a bumper at Wincanton (1m7f, good) then 29l sixth over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); however, he's with a leading trainer (one of two for the yard) and could take a sizeable step forward at some stage. |

Won on the Flat at Corlay (1m7f, soft) in France last June on his second run; had 5l to spare and changed hands for 21,000euros last July; absent since but he's an interesting contender on his hurdle and stable debut. |

£10,000 3yo; seventh foal; brother to bumper winner Getagin (RPR 103), closely related to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Crooks Peak, half-brother to 2m hurdle winner I'm So Busy (125); could have a future but will need to be useful to make a winning debut in this good race. |

Soundly beaten on hurdle debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft; albeit a warm race) and unseated mid-race at Hereford (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; however, the drop in trip could suit this headstrong point runner-up, who is in top hands (yard also runs Katana) and should appreciate this left-handed track; chance. |

Second to a useful rival in an Irish point; very free on his return from an absence when tailed off at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) and could leave that run behind if settling better in the new hood. |

Easily made all in Catterick bumper (1m7f, good) in November on second start; the strength of that form is questionable and he was well beaten on hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in January, but he's had wind surgery since and is not written off. |
