Eastern Shorest34
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| T: F O'Brien
SP
£70,000 purchase after winning Irish point last spring and (tongue tied) she shaped well when third of 9 in bumper at Fakenham (10/3) on her Rules debut 34 days ago. Sure to improve. Firmly in the picture.

Jack Hobbs mare. Dam, bumper winner, is closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Sure Touch. Hails from yard among the winners. Interesting newcomer.

SP
€34,000 3-y-o, Shantou mare. Sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Sevarano and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Fire Flyer, stays 21f. Can't be ruled out, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Approaching Storm
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-10| T: N J Gifford
SP
Shirocco filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Aldo The Apache and modest hurdler That's Me Finished. Betting can prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.

100/1, ninth of 13 in bumper at Kempton (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 71 days ago. Lots more is required.

SP
Jack Hobbs filly. Dam, unraced, is closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 23f) Little Miss Poet. In good hands so this newcomer is one to consider.

SP
Frontiersman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Jerrash, stays 3¾m, and fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Robin's Dream. Yard can ready them so she enters calculations.

Forecasts

Eastern Shores (7/4), Hyperbole (3/1), Opening Dance (5/1), Grizzled Squirrel (7/1), Shutfrontdoor (12/1), Sevarana (14/1), Queens Ginger (20/1), Approaching Storm (20/1), At Sunrise (25/1)

Verdict

Olly Murphy has his string in great nick so his Jack Hobbs mare HYPERBOLE is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Fakenham third Eastern Shores who rates a major threat. Other newcomers Opening Dance, Grizzled Squirrel and Sevarana also need factoring in, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
