Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 2m 6f 151y
Tashkhan
A useful stayer on the Flat, TASHKHAN will appreciate this longer trip and may be able to defy a penalty to follow up his hurdle debut success. Imperfectlyperfect is feared back down in class, while there should be more to come from Country Code following his win on hurdles bow. Olly Murphy's Burncourt Boy looks the type to win races at some stage and is worth noting for support.

Placed both starts in Irish points prior to making a successful hurdle debut for new connections at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) 45 days ago. Did that readily and a penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid over this longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/9- 3TashkhanJ: Sean QuinlanT: Brian Ellison1Age 75/22/19/4

Useful stayer on Flat at best (didn't look force of old last season) but made a successful hurdles debut in an 8-runner novice at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) earlier this month, showing a good attitude after bungling the last. Carries penalty but should progress, especially now upped in distance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHexham2m 4f 28yHeavyHurdle1/8Doncaster1m 3f 197yHeavyFlat10/22Longchamp2m 3f 194yVery softFlat7/8Curragh2m 80yYieldingFlat28/30Doncaster2m 1f 197yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat6/8- 4Burncourt BoyJ: Lewis StonesT: Olly Murphy56Age 54/14/19/2

£48,000 purchase from the Irish pointing field after getting off the mark at the third attempt in April. Showed plenty to work on when fifth on hurdle debut but unable to back that up when well held in a 2½m novice at Newbury (16/1) latest. Sure to progress at some stage and worth a market check.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/9Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/12- 2ImperfectlyperfectJ: Derek FoxT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore31-17Age 59/29/25/1

£70,000 Irish point recruit won a bumper and followed up when landing the odds on return/hurdles debut there (16.2f, good) in October (carries penalty here). Flying too high in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (21f) last time but better expected over this longer trip with sights lowered.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 5fSoftHurdle7/9Hexham2m 48yGoodHurdle1/8Hexham2m 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper1/7Kelso2m 51ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper3/7- 6Yorkshire Man SamJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Mark WalfordAge 716/112/114/1

Related to above-average jumpers and shaped well when third in a pair of points back in 2022. Upped markedly in trip for hurdle debut (bred to suit) and betting should guide returning from over 3 years off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 46ySoftBumper3/8Ayr2mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper3/10- 5Old ComradesJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Shantou gelding. Brother to useful dual bumper winner Brechin Castle and useful hurdler Minella Sixo (2m/23f winner). £58,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the fourth attempt in May. One to note for support on hurdle/stable debut.- 7Ivan's LegacyJ: Conor RabbittT: Susan Corbett4-447Age 466/166/150/1

Yard had success with this family but showed modest form at best when fourth on all 3 bumper starts and well held on hurdle debut over 2m here last time.
