Southwell Race 6 - Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk Conditional Jockeys' Training Series Hcp Hurdle
ROCK HURLEY (3) is the likely pace angle. Partnered with this rider to a 2.5L second at Bangor (3900m) earlier this month and could prove hard to catch from the front in a race that may turn tactical. CRACK OPS (1) recorded a first hurdling victory by 5L at Uttoxeter (4700m) when last sighted in May. Brings the most potential and is sure to go close. SPOT ON SOPH (2) was guided to victory by this rider contesting a 4000m Sedgefield event three weeks ago getting the verdict by 1.5L. Expect she will be competitive again here. ITALIAN SPIRIT (4) might not be devoid of ability however will have something to find with the principals on this occasion.

Second-up today. Fresh up after six months won by 1.5 len Sedgefield on September 9 over 4000m defeating Stellarmasterpiece with 71.5kg at $11 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished fifth of 7 runners at Musselburgh on March 20 over 4000m, 6 len behind Feach Amach with 68kg at $13. Definite chance. Meeting tougher opposition this time but on the up and rates an each way chance again.

Last run finished second of 7 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on September 8 over 3900m, 2.5 len behind Who's Glen carrying 70.5kg at $3.80. Before that finished 12th of 16 starters at Uttoxeter on July 24 over 4700m, 68 len behind Billy Boi Blue carrying 71.5kg at $11. Not keen on his chances this time.

When resuming last campaign 8 of 9 starters at Leicester November 30 over 4100m, slow track; 28 len behind Fresh Speculation with 69.5kg at $126. Would need to be on best behaviour to threaten.
