Market Rasen Race 2 - Trustatrader Apply Today Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
I'M A LUMBERJACK (2) has been showing plenty of potential tackling hurdles this season with a close second over 3400m at Bangor-on-Dee preceding a 7.5L victory in a 4200m maiden hurdle two months ago at Warwick. Top selection. BELLIANO (1) represents a leading yard. Looks promising following a 1.5L success contesting a 4400m maiden hurdle at Ascot. Main danger. SILVER THORN (3) went well New Years Day producing a fair third on deep ground attempting 4800m at Southwell. Interesting. ESPOIR DES FORGES (4) rates next best.

Third-up today. Resuming finished second of 14 runners at Chepstow 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on October 29 over 3900m, slow track; 5 len behind The New Lion with 71.5kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 1.5 len Ascot 4yo+ MHDLE (C3) on December 20 over 4300m defeating Tommy The Tank carrying 71.5kg at $1.80 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Likely to figure prominently again.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming finished second of 10 starters at Bangor-On-Dee 4yo+ HDLE (C4) on November 13 over 3300m, a nose behind Gentleman Bill with 70kg at $3.30. Last start favourite; won by 7 len Warwick 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on December 12 over 4200m defeating As The Fella Says with 71.5kg at $2.20 in a hurdle. Warrants thought.

Useful type. Resumes off a 34 day letup. Last run finished third in a small field at Southwell 5yo+ WFA HDLE (C3) on January 1 over 4860m, slow track; 17 len behind Moon Rocket carrying 72.5kg at $4.50. Race before finished fifth in a small field at Newbury 4yo+ HDLE (C3) on November 30 over 4100m, 14 len behind The New Lion carrying 72.5kg at $29. Found best form now. Hard to fault on current form.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last preparation finished seventh of 13 starters at Chepstow 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on November 22 over 3900m, 17 len behind The Bluesman with 71.5kg at $5.50. First up last campaign finished third of 14 starters at Warwick 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on April 25 over 3800m, 3 len behind Gwash carrying 72.5kg at $4.30. Has the ability and can do much better this time.
