Ffos Las Race 3 - Roperhurst.com - Scrubbers From Barry Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
HARBOUR ISLAND (1) is racing consistently with three wins and a runner-up effort in five career outings including winning by 2.25L at Taunton last time. Holds winning course form. Leading contender. RATHKENNY (2) is yet to finish outside top-three in five career starts. Last seen gaining a Doncaster maiden hurdle success by 2.75L four weeks ago. Dangerous. SOLDIER FOR GLORY (3) makes first start under rules and for a new trainer. Unseated unluckily in a Punchestown point-to-point. Improvement expected. SLACK ALICE (4) might fill fourth spot having placed third on the flat providing latest career appearance.

Racing well. Last start won by 2.75 len Doncaster on January 23 over 3900m slow going defeating West Hill Verde with 74.5kg at $6.50 in a hurdle. Start before finished third in a small field at Fontwell Park on December 26 over 3500m, 31 len behind Fortune Timmy carrying 71kg at $3.80. Chance to topple the top selection as these small fields can throw up surprises.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only had one start last when he was didn't finish the race at Punchestown P2p on February 22 over 4828m. Needs plenty of improvement to play a role here.

Racing second-up today.
