He’s eight races into his hurdling career and but to win, however current indicators have instructed Swilly Sunset will get his turn quickly enough.

He had four wins in 19 begins on the Flat (turf) and managed a peak score of 80 in that code. He was a bit of a mixed bag early on over hurdles though he is now discovering his ft since making the swap to Hales’ yard.

He was fourth behind in-form pair Little Rory Mac and Eva’s Diva on his first outing at Market Rasen in early December earlier than a positioned effort at Fakenham.

The new year started with a low-key run at Kempton and it was his most up-to-date effort at Doncaster that stood out.

He made strong progress to steer and was worn down late by a rival rated 9lb greater and receiving 2lb, going down just a half-length with a yawning 17 lengths back to the third home.

He’s up within the scores for that effort and faces current Plumpton winner Bard Of Brittany right here. With that rival penalised, the forecast underfoot circumstances and the trip ought to both swimsuit Kielan Woods’ mount, who can get off the mark over jumps.

Huntingdon ideas three:forty – Improving stayer can Murch on

The Richard Rowe-trained Mister Murchan has actually started to look the part this season since being stepped up in trip to across the three-mile mark.

He ran properly at Fontwell in November (2m3f) but appeared much more at residence subsequent time at Taunton (fourth) on his first run over three miles.

Just earlier than Christmas he stayed the trip very well on bottomless floor at Ascot when second behind Flowing Cadenza (second in a better race since at Warwick).

The indicators had been there and Mister Murchan duly opened his account at Plumpton (3m1f) 17 days in the past. He briefly looked outpaced at one point, before his stamina kicked in, and was an eventual three-length winner.

A 4lb rise within the weights seems far from prohibitive and staying in this grade, with stamina again likely to be very important, he is obtained glorious prospects of the follow-up.

It’s attainable trainer Martin Smith has got an honest prospect on his palms within the shape of Break The Rules and a winning handicap debut isn’t out of the question on this Mares’ Handicap Hurdle on Town Moor.

She was a head second to the helpful Midnights’ Gift on hurdles bow at Fakenham (2m, good) in October after which was no match for a similar rival in a Listed race at Aintree in December when fancied within the betting.

She ran into the cash once more final month again at Fakenham, ending third behind Henderson hurdling newcomer Grand Roi, who made gentle of odds-on favouritism, and a 125-rated mare in Touchthesoul.

An opening mark of 112 appears more than truthful given the promise in two of these three runs, whereas claiming rider Eddie Edge can take off a very helpful 7lb, together with his confidence positive to be high after using his first winner underneath rules at Ludlow on Wednesday.

There might be more to return now handicapping over this new journey and, at an each-way value, the daughter of Aussie Rules can go nicely.
