The Dog Thief
THE DOG THIEF looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his Market Rasen victory at the chief expense of Ludlow scorer Jack Hyde who should find this return to further a positive. Stablemates Bold Light and Serious Operator appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Winning pointer who built on debut promise when landing 8-runner novice hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) 40 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a big player going into handicap company with more to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 4f 139yGood to SoftHurdle1/8Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/10- 3Jack HydeJ: Tom BroughtonT: Fergal O'Brien1552291Age 83/13/111/4

Bumper/dual hurdle winner but absent since finishing well held in a 2m Cheltenham handicap in November 2024. Betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence.

Veteran with a decent strike rate but, save for a fairly encouraging reappearance fifth at Carlisle in November, he hasn't been at his best so far this season.

Enjoyed a productive 2024/25 campaign when a three-time scorer over hurdles. Best run this season when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (2½m) 24 days ago.

Front-running hurdler who enjoyed a remarkable 2024 when completing a 6-timer (including here).
