FROM THE OFF

Former jockey turned Racing Daily pundit Liam Hall gives his weekly weekend look over a whole host of National Hunt Flat races that he tries to decipher.

Dream County, a daughter of a prolific bumper mare ran very green on debut and should be much sharper this time around, Conditional takes off a handy 5lb. Unparked is a daughter of the brilliant NH sire Walk In The Park, being out of bumper winning mare she was chucked straight into a Listed bumper on debut and ran very well till two furlongs out where she weakened, big drop in class and should be very dangerous in this. Indigo Blu probably holds the best pedigree from the newcomers and with the four year old allowance is entitled to get involved if she knows her job.

Geordie Mackem has been well fancied on both starts and has had two placed efforts from two starts, dam won a listed hurdle on heavy so the softer conditions should help. The Hatchet is a recruit from the Irish point circuit, finishing second on debut and showing a very willing attitude. Subsequently sold for big money to Lucinda Russell and should be in the mix in this contest. Miss Mac is likely to be a double digit price but she showed up late on once the penny dropped on debut from a hopeless position. With that experience under her belt don't be suprised to see her staying on strongly at the end.

Jack The Lad was highly touted for his English maiden ptp debut and he impressively obliged by winning by 25 lengths and was then sold for a big price. The runner up that day was only rated in the mid 80s but he couldn't have beaten the field any more impressively, bigger test here though. Kings Bucks did the job nicely on debut in a point, winning by a head but the front pair put 10 lengths between themselves and the field, his dam was a half sister to top class Cyrname. Ksar Fatal also won his debut in an Irish point but the second has ran since, winning a maiden hurdle and achieving an RPR of 129. That rating would put Ksar Fatal at around 135 which should be good enough to win this bumper.
