14:00 (Hereford) Emotivo

Henry de Bromhead sends Emotivo on the long journey from his County Waterford base to Hereford and the hint should be taken.

Fourth in juvenile hurdles at Down Royal and Gowran, she is likely to find the standard easier in Herefordshire.

Rated 83 at her peak on the Flat, she is clearly no mug but she will need to settle better than last time out.

 

14:30 (Hereford) Illico De Cotte

Illico De Cotte is given one more chance in the Download The Vickers.Bet App Maiden Hurdle.

After being beaten a nose at Lingfield on his rules debut, he was upped in class at Cheltenham but he was pulled up quickly after losing a shoe.

Down in grade at Wincanton, he was beaten a length by Oak Creek.

He has been found a good opportunity to open his account.

 

16:32 (Hereford) Zestful Hope

Zestful Hope showed plenty of ability at Huntingdon when a strong second tackling this handicap hurdle grade over 2m5f and will be a leading contender.

Let's Go Joe found success in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle before a decent fourth contesting a Catterick novices hurdle on New Year's Day and is open to further progress.

Soldierofthestorm ran with credit during December finishing fourth in a Doncaster novices handicap hurdle and should be shortlisted with Jukebox D'Eddy who holds each-way chances.

 

17:07 (Hereford) Fourofakind

Fourofakind went well at Wincanton on heavy going when a smart second contesting a lower class 1m7f handicap hurdle. Improving this season and makes for plenty of appeal.

Thank You Ma'am brings good placed efforts including a second in a Wincanton 1m7f novices hurdle. That form has been boosted since and may go close again.

Iris Des Issards was a decent runner-up in a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Exeter two outings back and should be on the shortlist with Fresh Speculation.
