Bangor On Dee Race 5 - Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
SKY GROVE (1) Came in 5th last start in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Has the ability to turn things around and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Strong hope. HANG OUT (4) First appearance at the races 5yo by Idaho for D Mccain (Jnr). Follow the money. FROST MOON (8) Looked good when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Worcester. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Up to these. ALCARATH (2) Finished 13th last start at Newmarket. Capable of bouncing back and facing a rise in trip. Displays good tactical speed. Solid place bet prospects.

Odds of $11.00 and disappointing outing when 12th last start in a hurdle at Uttoxeter but carrying less weight this time. Solid chance.

Tidy run when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Worcester. Has a great burst of speed late. Jockey Harry Skelton is a bonus. Strong prospects.
