Useful hurdler; returned to form at Stratford (2m1f, good) on chase debut this month, back from a break; back up 6lb and he's struggled off marks this high over hurdles but there's reason to believe there's more to come in this discipline; more of a concern is the heavy ground, with all wins on no worse than good to soft.

11st 10lb |
Out of form over hurdles in the spring but, following a break, he kept on strongly for clearcut win on chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good) last month; must be considered after that performance. |

Progressive hurdler last season, last seen finishing runner-up over this trip (stays further) on soft ground at Taunton in February; likely sort to improve for the switch to fences and he won his French bumper on heavy; likely to have a big say on chase debut.

20th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not sure what happened two runs back but he's won his other two races this season and it was fairly straightforward over 2m3f here last time (soft); only 4lb higher, won't mind dropping back in trip and he won his French bumper on heavy. |
11/4 |

8th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has very mixed record during seven-race hurdling career and needs to bounce back from a poor run in November, but looked in very good nick when winning on seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in October and should be fine on today's slower ground. |
7/1 |

1-4 over hurdles, with that win coming on heavy; encouraging start to chase career when 1l second at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May, travelling strongly in the lead before failing to quite see it out; had wind surgery since and remains with potential; respected if ready to roll back from a break with tongue-tie added.

jumped slightly right throughout, pressed leader, led after 3rd, pushed along omitted 2 out, hung left when shaken up and faced challenge run-in, always doing enough |

Hurdle winner who didn't really take to fences in three attempts last season and his return to hurdles in March was rather underwhelming; handles testing ground but goes back over fences with something to prove.

11st 0lb |
Returned to form and justified strong market support when winning higher-grade race from out of the weights at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) on Friday; escapes a penalty and is effectively 5lb lower here; has very obvious chance to double up. |

5lb out of the weights but Gearoid Harney claims 6lb; however, didn't take to chasing last season (three attempts) and was comfortably held on his return to hurdles in March (cheekpieces back on); has too much to prove. |

11th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Has not really taken to chasing this season (three attempts) and was well beaten over hurdles on penultimate start; on dangerous mark now but comes here with a lot to prove; blinkered last time; cheekpieces back on today. |
14/1 |

Verdict
Moveit Like Minnie made a successful start over fences this month but that was on good ground and with heavy ground a worry, the selection is INCA DE LAFAYETTE who was of similar ability over hurdles, handles testing going and looks the type to improve for the switch to fences. Heavy-ground hurdle winner Home Free (second choice) is another to consider. [Tim Mitchell]
