Tomorrow, March 15, 2025HurdleClass 22m5f

A really good handicap. SAINT ANAPOLINO is taken to defy a 7 lb rise for last month's C&D success and make it 4 in a row but there are plenty of possible dangers, headed by the prolific Double Powerful, who was arguably a bit unlucky not to complete a remarkable 7-timer at Ascot when last seen just before Christmas. Aston Martini and the reliable Irish Hill complete the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Going from strength to strength over hurdles, completing hat-trick in pretty good C&D handicap last month. A further 7 lb rise demands more but no surprise were this improving 6-y-o to find it.

    Verdict
    Highly progressive, strong-travelling sort who won a remarkable 6 handicaps on the trot between March and November last month. Improved again when only narrowly denied a 7-timer at Ascot (21.5f, good to soft) in December, running on well having still hard plenty to do 3 out. Big player.

    Has landed handicap chase/hurdle wins around 19f at Doncaster this winter. Another good run when third in 19f Ascot handicap last month, staying on as if this return to slightly further will suit.

    Verdict
    Bumper winner who also landed her first 2 starts over hurdles last winter. Further progress in handicaps this season, shaping as if this slightly longer trip will play to her strengths when second of 11 in 19f Ascot handicap in January. Cheekpieces go on.

    Consistent type who landed hurdle win number 7 when holding on gamely at Warwick (21f, soft) under Jay Tibdall last month. Should remain very competitive after only a 2 lb nudge.

    Verdict
    Resumed progress on return with victory in 17-runner Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October. That is good form but he hasn't come close to reproducing it twice since. A bounce back is needed.

    Verdict
    Notched second success over fences when accounting for 5 rivals in 3m Perth handicap on final run of last season. Disappointing in 2 chases starts on his return at the end of 2024 and now reverts to hurdles after 3 months off.

    Very useful winning hurdler. Didn't take to chasing in the autumn but this former Lanzarote winner wasn't disgraced back hurdling the last twice and connections' won this race last year.

    Verdict
    Irish bumper winner who came good for new connections in 2½m Newcastle novice hurdle in January. Improved again when length second of 10 in Musselburgh handicap (2½m, good to soft) since. Raised 4 lb but this lightly-raced 6-y-o could easily have more to give.
