3B Crane Hire Handicap Hurdle (For The Craigie Cup) (Go North Sea Pigeon Series Qualifier)

Won over hurdles in France over 2m2f on very soft last March; makes her British debut after being bought for 70,000euros in July; has had wind surgery since; hood worn on both hurdles starts in France is absent and she sports a first-time tongue-tie; betting will be the best guide.

Has taken well to hurdles, recording his second win at Kelso (2m, heavy) on handicap debut last month with more in hand than the official margin suggests; should be hard to beat despite a 4lb rise.

Boasts two wins around here, one over this distance, but has been below his best this term and was pulled up at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month in race won by Triple Crown Ted; hard to fancy.

0-7 over hurdles but ran big race when second of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) in January and will be a tough nut to crack if in similar form here.

Has six wins on the Flat but his last of four successes over hurdles came four years ago; continues to drop in the weights without looking likely to take advantage.
