Wetherby Race 4 - Boyle Sports Now Open In Wetherby Introductory' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
VELVET OUTLAW (2) fell when in contention attempting his point-to-point during April. Left that behind running second in a jumpers flat race at Perth. Makes hurdling debut holding strong chances. YASHIN (3) competed to a high level on the flat and now goes jumping. Stamina will be no problem while by a stallion whose progeny generally make the transition well. Yard is without a winner for a while but their horses typically out-perform the odds. RECOBELLA (4) won three on the flat and is given hope at the weights. STATIC CHARM (1) performed well in three jumpers flat races though was poor on his first hurdle outing in April.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 12 of 13 runners at Bangor-On-Dee April 18 over 3300m, 199 len behind Alsakib carrying 69kg at $23. When resuming last campaign 3 of 9 starters at this track March 17 over 3200m, 7 len behind Minella Premier carrying 68.5kg at $10. Not an appealing prospect despite a scarcity of opponents.
