Fontwell Park Race 2 - Ksr Lighting Juvenile Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
SALKADAN (7) had wind surgery before making his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and offered plenty when finishing third after being met with strong market support. One to take very seriously for the champion trainer. GREY SANDS (1) makes his debut for a stable who aren't renowned for their winners at this time of the year. On breeding the trip is a question mark but he is respected. RUM DIAMOND (6) has also had wind surgery and wears a tongue tie on his hurdle and stable debut and looks best as a place chance. OCTOBER SURPRISE (5) is yet to show enough ability to be of strong interest and is likely to need the experience.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last preparation ran last at Kempton Park All Weather on March 30 over 2400m, 6 len behind Cospicua carrying 59kg at $5. When resuming last campaign made some head-way from midfield; finished fifth of 14 starters at Southwell All Weather on October 24 over 1600m, 8 len behind Abundant carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Key chance on best and expected to measure up.

Freshened for 33 days. Last start sat on speed throughout then finished third of 9 runners at Uttoxeter on July 26 over 3200m, 5 len behind Hello Garda carrying 70kg at $3.50. Before that finished seventh of 9 runners at Ffos Las on June 4 over 2400m, 30 len behind Willow Wood carrying 60.5kg at $8. Progressing well this campaign. Plenty to like about his prospects.

First race starter by Mahler out of Country Life. Makes her debut here in what looks a tricky race for her. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.
