Tomorrow, HurdleClass 53m

A case can be made for most of these but HELSGETAWAY could still have more to offer as a staying hurdler and looks well worth another chance. Guernesey can go well fresh and makes appeal dropped into a 0-100, while Buzz Iceclear should improve now tackling handicaps over a longer distance.

    Verdict
    Allowed to build up an insurmountable lead when winning an amateur riders' event at Catterick in December. Back to form on second start this season when third in an 11-runner handicap at Kelso (20.9f) and he can be competitive again stepping back up in trip with hood refitted.

    Fairly useful hurdler at his best, both successes coming in handicaps at Perth. Well below form of late, faring no better for a drop in grade at Tipperary (23.3f) last time. Interesting to see if the market expects better back on these shores.

    Lightly raced maiden (unplaced in points) posted his best effort when third at Hexham (20.1f, soft) on reappearance 29 days ago. Steps back up in distance (bred to suit) and claims if he can build on comeback run.

    Verdict
    Placed in a bumper and showed promise in maiden/novice hurdles around 2½m last season, shaping like a stayer. Badly hampered on handicap bow and didn't get very far on chase debut on his return last month. Worth another chance in a staying handicap hurdle.

    Verdict
    Placed in an Irish point and back to form when fourth at this track (20.4f) in January. Ran well on second start over 3m when runner-up behind a subsequent winner at Wetherby on final start last season and this lightly raced mare could have more to offer on first start since wind surgery.

    Unplaced in points but has offered something to work with in a trio of maiden/novice hurdle starts. Stoutly bred and looks a likely improver upped markedly in trip on handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Losing run stretches back to October 2022 but the handicapper has reacted accordingly. Made the frame over C&D earlier this year (prior to flying too high at Musselburgh last time) and he's one to consider dropped into a 0-100 handicap on second start following wind surgery.

    Verdict
    Fairly consistent hurdler (sole success came as a novice at this track in 2021) but his jumping has been far from assured over fences, faring no better on return at Perth last month. Could find some confidence back over the smaller obstacles.

    Verdict
    Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers last season but has little form over hurdles so far, finding little when pulled up at Kelso last month. Shouldn't lack for fitness this time but remains with a bit to prove upped markedly in trip.
