Market Rasen Race 2 - First Past The Post At Copybet Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Point winner TOBYSHILL (7) switched stables since coming home fifth in a competitive Ascot novice first up over hurdles. New yard made a good start and a tongue strap tried here. Can take a big step forward. PLAINS DRIFTER (3) has been given a few chances finishing 15L third when last seen. With a couple of runner-up efforts at the course will certainly be in the mix. THE DOG THIEF (5) found only a Mullins runner too strong on hurdling debut at Carlisle. Previously landed a point to point and can make amends among this company. SONYOURASTAR (4) joins a top yard from the Irish pointing scene. Entitled to go close.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign finished fifth of 7 runners at this track on December 4 over 3300m, 4.5 len behind Get Out Of My Way with 68.5kg at $15. When resuming last campaign settled back and ran on when finished fourth of 7 runners at this track on February 18 2025 over 3300m, 26 len behind Un Sens A La Vie with 71kg at $29. This might test him.

Racing well. Resumes off a 59 day letup. Last run raced on speed throughout then finished third of 11 runners at Ludlow on January 15 over 4200m, 15 len behind Mondoui'boy carrying 74.5kg at $8. The run before made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at this track on December 4 over 4140m, 3.5 len behind Montemares carrying 70kg at $34. Sure to improve again. Close to a win and worth following up.

Returned from break finished second of 10 starters at Carlisle on February 16 over 3900m, on slow going 20 len behind He's On Fire carrying 74kg at $9. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Freshened for 53 days. Last start finished 12th of 13 runners at Catterick on January 21 over 3900m, 58 len behind Kosac D'oudairies carrying 65.5kg at $301. Before that finished fifth in a small field at Catterick on January 1 over 3900m, 54 len behind In The Age with 66.5kg at $126. Likely to go around at long odds again and others appear better placed.
