Runners Spotlight

NR
Ben Lomond
Favorite

Improved form in the third of three bumpers, here last month, but his hurdle debut over C&D last week didn't go well, tailed off when unseating at the last; best watched.

Jockey: Trainer: Daisy Hitchins
NR
Hector's Hope

Beaten 36l+ in three bumpers; big outsider for three hurdle runs, pulled up in the first two and remote third of four at Taunton (2m3f) recently; this lesser test will suit better but ordinary handicaps more likely.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Chris Down
NR
Lewis Barnes

Ex-Stuart Williams; consistent since off the mark (6f, AW) in October; dam bred two winning hurdlers but this one's sire doesn't yell stamina which is the concern now hurdling; hood replaces regular aids.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Nigel Hawke
NR
Sure To Be Sure

Soundly beaten in three bumpers; 100-1 for hurdle debut at Wincanton in March, where he didn't get a chance to show what he could do as he was pulled up with a slipping saddle; still unlikely this time.

Jockey: Trainer: Helen Nelmes

Courageous Strike

Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat.
