Newton Abbot

HurdleClass 42m
Verdict

KING’S SCHOLAR needs to sharpen up in the jumping department, but he’s still made an encouraging start to his hurdling career and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick back from a break with the potential to raise his game further based on his good-quality Flat form. Whermyrosemarygoes had more in hand than the final margin suggests on her recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and looks the obvious threat.

    Verdict
    Bordering on useful up to 1¾m on Flat for Ed Walker and showed the benefit of his initial experience over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap when readily landing 2m maiden at Southwell in May. Made hard work of defying a penalty at Worcester later that month but retains plenty of potential.

    Verdict
    4-y-o who showed much-improved form when opening account in 6-runner handicap at Stratford (2m) in June. Ran at least as well in defeat from a 3 lb higher mark at Worcester subsequently but needs to pull out a bit more to come out on top on these terms.

    Verdict
    Little impact in points in 2023/24 and didn't show enough on his belated Rules debut (hooded) at Worcester last month to be of major interest here.

    Verdict
    €48,000 Walk In The Park mare. Placed on her last 2 starts in Irish points and belied a big market drift to make a successful hurdling debut in 13-runner novice at Uttoxeter (2m) 29 days ago, asserting before the last and winning eased down. Has to be respected under a penalty.
