Bangor On Dee Race 5 - Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
ALCARATH (2) has developed into a fair flat handicap performer at up to 2000m. Last seen finishing midfield in the Cambridgeshire Handicap (1800m) during September and expect he will take well to hurdling. FROST MOON (8) represents the Dan Skelton team. Finished 16L third on first run over obstacles at Worcester (3200m) last month. Can benefit from the mares allowance. HANG OUT (4) landed a point-to-point on his sole appearance in February. Joins a local yard successful at this track. Hard to ignore. SKY GROVE (1) managed to hold off a subsequent dual winner when scoring at Warwick (3200m) in May. Only fifth returning latest. Not written off.

Five-year-old gelding by Idaho out of Pats Pet has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Nice profile and expected to measure up.
