OUR TIP
Form: 1 D
OR: —
W: 11st 7lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
60-rated on the Flat; won the first juvenile hurdle of the season at Hexham (2m, good; 3-1) last Saturday, a race which also featured Cracking Anna (fourth) and Steel Fixer (pulled up); should confirm his superiority over those rivals despite the incurred 7lb penalty.
Form: P
OR: —
W: 11st 0lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
52-rated Flat maiden; headed before two out, weakened quickly and pulled up (reportedly made a respiratory noise) in the race won by Tiny Riot at Hexham (2m, good; 14-1) on Saturday; with that in mind, even with a tongue-tie added, this represents a quick turnaround.
Form: —
OR: —
W: 11st 0lb
Age: 3 yo Colt
2-2 on the Flat (1m2f; now rated 56) since being gelded, narrowly beating the frustrating Bradbury both occasions; dam was an unraced half-sister to the useful 2m-2m3f hurdle winner Daybreak Boy among others; interesting to see the level of market confidence behind him.
Form: 4
OR: —
W: 10st 7lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Limited on the Flat (40-rated); cautious hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, good; fourth to Tiny Riot) last Saturday but she ran her race, beaten just over 6l, and she's entitled to draw benefit for that; the task isn't an impossible one.

Betting Forecast

Verdict
Add 174yds. It’s still very early days for these juvenile hurdlers. TINY RIOT turned over an odds-on favourite at Hexham on Saturday, with two of these rivals in behind. He shouldn’t be hindered by the incurred 7lb penalty, and probably has Adrian Keatley’s newcomer Vietnorm to fear most. [Mark Rowntree]
