The Gray Ghost
THE GRAY GHOST has been shaping well in better races than this of late so could be the answer back off his proper mark. Seaview Rock confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut with an easy win at Leicester and remains totally unexposed going into handicaps, while Baratablet might have found his last run coming too soon and is well worth another chance given how progressive he looked.

Sold for £72,000 after going close on sole start in points and made encouraging debut over hurdles when second to a progressive novice from the Skelton yard at Leicester. Confirmed that promise when going one better there last month and almost certainly has more to offer now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester1m 7f 113yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Leicester1m 7f 113ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/6- 3The Gray GhostJ: Liam HarrisonT: Robbie Llewellyn7-64544Age 79/29/24/1

Opened hurdles account at third attempt for current yard last season and has been shaping up well in handicaps, caught further back than ideal when fourth at Musselburgh last time. One to note stepping back in distance in lesser race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to SoftHurdle4/13Ascot2m 5f 146ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/12Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/10Aintree2m 4fGood to SoftHurdle4/6Kelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle6/8- 1BaratabletJ: Brian HughesT: Nicky Richards2131-14Age 613/215/27/1

Progressed again when landing a handicap (20.3f, good to soft) in good style here on his reappearance in December. Might have found next run coming too soon when failing to land the odds at Kelso 18 days later and this 6-y-o is well worth another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/7Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/13Perth2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/9Ayr3m 70yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/5Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/8- 2Saracen BeauJ: Danny McMenaminT: Nicky Richards3/1P3-2Age 77/17/115/2

Made successful hurdles debut for Nicky Richards last season. Shaped well on both starts for Lucinda Russell, latterly when runner-up on chase debut at Bangor in October on return. Re-joined Nicky Richards and can continue his progression back over hurdles.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGoodChase2/11Kelso2m 2f 25yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9Haydock Park1m 7f 144ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/6Ayr2mGood to SoftHurdle1/12Ayr2mGood to SoftBumper3/8- 9Party In The ParkJ: William MaggsT: Ann Hamilton3655Age 58/17/115/2

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed promise when third in Newcastle bumper on Rules debut. Best effort over hurdles when fifth of 12 in novice at Carlisle in a first-time tongue strap 18 days ago and opening mark looks a fair one.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 1fGood to SoftHurdle5/12Kelso2m 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/11Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper3/6- 8The HatchetJ: Jack PowerT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore47-136Age 69/111/110/1

£105,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in his only Irish point. Hurdle form is working out well, winning 2m novice at Perth prior to splitting a pair of subsequent winners when third under a penalty at Ayr. Only sixth on handicap bow at Musselburgh since but was returning from 3 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdle6/12Ayr2mSoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle3/14Perth2m 47yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/11Perth2m 47yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper7/13Ayr2mSoftBumper4/10- 6That OneJ: Callum BewleyT: James Walton4121-26Age 710/110/111/1

Won twice last season, including novice at Hexham final start, and picked up where he left off when second at Carlisle on return. However, produced a rare sloppy round of jumping when only sixth there 18 days ago and needs to bounce back.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 1fGood to SoftHurdle6/11Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle2/8Hexham2m 48yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Hexham2m 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/8Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/13- 7CormierJ: Craig NicholT: Brian Ellison06-74Age 1016/116/114/1

A three-time 2m winner last term and in good form in early summer, not seen to ideal effect when fifth at Worcester. Not knocked about back from 7 months off when fourth at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago and better expected now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSedgefield2m 178yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/7Worcester2mGoodHurdle5/8Warwick2mGoodHurdle2/5Bangor-on-dee2m 145yGoodHurdle3/6Newcastle2m 190ySoftHurdle4/5
