Verdict

MOBILIZED (8) will be making his hurdle debut after some good form on the flat. He has been well schooled, and was a narrow runner-up in a recent jumping trial at Cambridge. Hard to beat. CARIGNAN (2) has struggled to win another race, and has been placed in all of his 3 jumping starts to date. He has top 3 claims again. CHESTER BOY (14) has jumped cautiously in both of his hurdling starts, but the money has been there for him, and he is open to rapid improvement in this. Stick with him. KEEN ON BUBBLES (12) is on debut over the hurdles, and she is sure to be well educated in this role. Follow any positive market moves. COCKTAIL LAD (13) has yet to fire in 2 starts over the hurdles, but he has enough pace on the flat, that if he can improve his jumping, he would be a big threat in this.
