Hereford Race 5 - Green Dragon Hotel Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)
AMERICAN EMPIRE (3) is having the second start after a wind operation. Posted a good performance here over course and distance last time and rates the one to beat. SOUTHEY (4) makes his debut for a new stable having switched from the Stuart Crawford yard in Ireland. Reverts to hurdles following a runner up finish in a steeplechase at Ayr in January. Warrants a market check. ETTORE (5) tackles handicaps for the first time and also adopts first time cheekpieces. Only a glimmer of promise in the qualifying runs. Cheekpieces are also fitted for TAO ENKI (2) having disappointed at Warwick in March. More needed.

Resuming after four months. Finished off last campaign 2 in a small field at Ayr January 2 over 3300m, slow track; 1.5 len behind Ballyfort carrying 72kg at $6.50. First up last campaign 5 in a small field at Downpatrick August 25 over 4425m, 130 len behind Penny Perfect with 71.5kg at $12. May well prove too smart for these first up.
