THE HOTLIST

Alan Morris updates his weekly hotlist and gives two runners who've raced over the past week and earmarks a duo to keep an eye on. BLUE FORCE (A Brittain)

220,000 gns purchase Blue Force ran respectably when last of five in a uniquely hot novice stakes in 2023 on his only start for Roger Varian but later that year changed hands for only 8000 gns!

From a low handicap mark Blue Force soon hit a rich vein of form across Southwell, Newcastle and Wolverhampton over 5 and 6f last Winter. The 4yo gelding showed a lot more on his second race back after a Summer break and should be set for a productive all-weather campaign again. 5f is fine but 6f is still an option.

CHARMING FELLOW (P Chapple-Hyam)

Soft-ground loving Charming Fellow looks ready to strike after a recent 3rd and 2nd over a mile on soft. The lightly-raced 3yo gelding won at Pontefract in October of his 2yo season and looks capable over stiff miles though 10f may make a man of him from his lowly mark of 56 at present.
