Today, April 19, 2025HurdleClass 43m2fHeavy

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to MOONSET, who has clearly been hard to get to the track but made a winning return at Market Rasen last month and is open to further progress now heading up in trip on handicap bow. Yet to finish out of the places over hurdles for this trainer, Coconut Twist heads up the opposition arriving in the form of his life, while Barricane and Copshill Lad can fight out third.

    Verdict
    Course winner has yet to finish out of the places over hurdles for this trainer. Landed a gamble back at Exeter back in January and better than ever when winning his last couple, latest in 6-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 9 days ago. 7 lb higher but hard to envisage him not being in the mix.

    Verdict
    Runner-up on bumper debut and again on hurdling bow (after 10 months off) in 11-runner novice at Worcester last September. Seemingly hard to train but went one better in 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) last month and can progress again now handicapping stepped up in trip.

    Verdict
    Justified support after 9 months off when scoring on yard debut at Stratford in October. Fifth next 3 starts but wasted no time getting back to form when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Capable from this mark if he's in the mood.

    Verdict
    Dual Exeter winner in the mud early last year. Started the current campaign with decent efforts in a hurdle/chase at same course and having been in the doldrums since, ran better than for a while when third back there (21.6f, good) last month. Step back up in trip rates a plus.

    Verdict
    Creditable in-frame efforts in handicaps around 3m on his first 3 outings of the campaign but was possibly amiss at Fontwell (21.8f, heavy) just under 8 weeks ago, his jockey reporting he stopped quickly. Bounce back required.

    Verdict
    Showed his form for the first time this season when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, heavy) just over 8 weeks ago, the introduction of more severe headgear (first-time blinkers) seeming to spark him back to life. Claims from 4 lb higher and any rain would enhance his chance.

    Verdict
    Took a step forward on just his second handicap start when runner-up in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) in February. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that at Plumpton the following month but remains with few miles on the clock and is seemingly the choice of Cobden.

    Verdict
    Losing run is mounting up but stopped the slide to some extent in first-time blinkers at Hereford (25.2f, soft) just under 8 weeks ago. Back hurdling for the first time since 2022 and others more appealing on balance.

    Verdict
    Took advantage of his reduced mark when landing a double over hurdles in December and though unable to complete the hat-trick next time, nearly added to his tally when runner-up at Plumpton last month. Weak in the market and not so good back there just under 2 weeks ago, however.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for previous yards and showed more than previously for the yard in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at at Southwell (24.3f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Longer distances clearly hold no terrors for him nowadays but needs to back that up here.
