Not So Sobers

11st 4lb

J: David Bass

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut.

9st 7lb

J: Luke Morris

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible.

J: Joshua Thompson

T: Micky Hammond

Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick.

Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher.

Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf.

Two AW wins in France but little to celebrate in Britain; two AW runs last autumn were respectable but nothing comparable this year; the new headgear needs to prove transformative.

Yet to win for this trainer (0-16), in rear throughout on last visit to this track (1m2f) in May; subsequent Newcastle effort no better; stablemate of Yurinov; far better to focus elsewhere.

0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run.
