GO FORRIT has a jumping pedigree and was a progressive sort in bumpers. This is not the most competitive of maiden hurdles and David Arbuthnot’s charge is fancied to go close. High Command, a dual all-weather winner, chased home a couple of subsequent winners on his hurdles bow at Plumpton and is an obvious danger. Black Lightning was ahead of the selection in a bumper here in May so can’t be ignored but Darlac looks a chaser in the making. Andapa fell at the first here in August while Sheila's Fancy was 0-13 on the Flat. Balli Martine disappointed when last seen at Worcester in June.
