TFRHHHHH BHA120 FORM113

TIMEFORM VIEW Wide-margin winner of sole point and looked a good prospect when making all on hurdles debut at Ayr (21.4f) in December Shade disappointing under a penalty at Wetherby in January but well worth another chance to get back on track.

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM5F-1

TIMEFORM VIEW £85,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Anywayyoulookatit, stays 3 1/4m. Dam unraced half-sister to unreliable but useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stays 29f) Rocky Creek. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt and well worth a look with yard in fine form.

RACECOURSE DEBUT

TFRHHIII BHAFORM2-5P10

TIMEFORM VIEW Makes appeal on paper and got off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt in December 33/1, beaten long way on Rules/hurdles debut over 19.3f here in February though, and he’ll need to leave that behind to feature upped in trip

PLAY SMARTER

CHOOSETHENEWS proved a shade disappointing at Wetherby when last seen in January but he’s well worth another chance judged on his ready hurdling debut success at Ayr in December and gets the nod to get back on the up Giovinco, an interesting recruit from points, represents a stable in red-hot form and could well emerge as the chief threat.
