Well-bred Godolphin cast-off had some good Flat form (rated 77) for Matt Smith; pulled up lame on stable/hurdle debut. |

Close up in 1m2f/1m5f maidens with a peak RPR of 79; lost it at the start when well beaten in a Galway handicap in August; has what it takes to make a hurdler for leading yard. |

Mishaps twice since promising debut in Roscommon bumper in September, achieving highest RPR of any of these when second to a decent sort who went on to win twice over hurdles in Britain. |

Ran to a useful level when runner-up in a Roscommon bumper (good to yielding); surprisingly lengthy odds at 80-1 for his recent hurdle debut at Killarney where he was on the retreat when falling (in first-time hood); on that debut effort he commands respect. |

Put up decent efforts in defeat in Clonmel and Kilbeggan bumpers, though was favourite both times; quickly sent over hurdles and has to be considered from this source. |

Waldgeist gelding, half-brother to the smart Colonel Mustard; green and shaped well on debut when beaten 6.5l into second by High Kick Kev at Clonmel 43 days ago; hard to gauge the form but should improve plenty and good ground likely to suit even better. |

Betting Forcast
7/4 Whats New, 33/1 Alfinthesea, 150/1 Breezingwithdstars, 5/1 First Ascent, 150/1 Kilmond Knight, 16/1 Minnatrix, 12/1 No Mon No Fun, 33/1 Rumi Rock, 3/1 Sharu, 6/1 World As One, 8/1 Lady Felicia, 100/1 Middlethird Marvel, 25/1 Phyllis Rodda
Verdict
Having seen him run out a couple of times, supporting WHATS NEW at a short price wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but the handicapper has given him a slight rise for each of his last two runs and he might just have turned the corner. Lady Felicia made a promising debut here in May and might be next best, ahead of a few beatable-looking types from the powerhouse yards, First Ascent, Sharu and World As One. [Mark Nunan]
