Today, February 27, 2025HurdleClass 52m3fHeavy

GRENADIER JED left his previous hurdle exploits well behind when making a winning handicap debut over C&D 23 days ago and the manner of that success suggests a subsequent 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent Robert Walford's unexposed 5-y-o following up. Rip Wheeler appeals as the type to do better now stepping back up in trip and, along with the returning Colonel Whizz and Mr Zee, heads up the dangers.

    Verdict
    Promise on second of 2 starts in bumpers and left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when making a winning handicap debut over C&D 23 days ago, quickening clear final 100 yds. Up 8 lb on the back of that but manner of the victory suggests there's more to come.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced maiden who advanced his form when third on handicap debut here (23.9f) in January. However, failed to sustain his effort dropped back in trip when fifth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this.

    Verdict
    Placed twice in maiden hurdles at up to 2½m and ran up to best in a first-time tongue tie when third of 7 on handicap debut at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) when last seen 11 months ago. Returns with yard continuing amongst the winners so worth a second look.

    Verdict
    Ended losing run with a narrow success over fences at Warwick (20f) in May and resumed in good form, seeming to find 23f taxing his stamina here last month. Lesser effort at Exeter 18 days ago and this veteran switches back to smaller obstacles now.

    Verdict
    Well beaten in bumpers but hinted at ability for the first time fitted with cheekpieces (left off here) on his second of 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles during second half of last year. Goes handicapping now with yard in better form and the market can prove a useful guide.

    Verdict
    Irish raider who was very easy to back but made more impact than previously with cheekpieces enlisted when fifth in a big-field handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m) 5 weeks ago. Interesting if the market spoke in his favour now stepping back up in trip.

    Verdict
    Runner-up completed start in Irish points but little to shout about over hurdles, albeit finding the return to 2m an inadequate test when sixth in novices' handicap at Lingfield 4 weeks ago. Needs to find some improvement stepping back up in distance.

    Verdict
    Fair Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe who made more impact than previously in this sphere when fourth on handicap debut at Stratford (18.7f) last spring. May have needed first start for 9 months when pulled up at Chepstow (19.5f) 18 days ago but good deal of progress required to figure.

    Picked up for £31,000 after winning one of his 3 point starts. Minor promise in maiden/novice hurdles and didn't shape at all badly with a view to stepping up in trip when a staying on fourth of 7 on handicap debut at Sandown (2m) 14 days ago. In good hands and progress anticipated.
