Hereford Race 5 - Robert Howell Handicap Hurdle
I'M A STARMAN (4) Resuming after a spell. Came in 4th last start in a hurdle at Warwick. Should improve here. Will be positive in the run early. Callum Pritchard provides some weight relief. Expected to fight out the finish. COURT IN A STORM (2) Finished 4th last time in a hurdle at Exeter. Should improve from the last run. Tongue tie on could be an important change. Possesses very good finishing speed. Top prospects against this opposition. BLOCK ROCKIN BEATS (3) Tongue tie go on for the first time. Keep in mind. GOLD FOR ALEC (5) Ran 3rd last time in a hurdle at Chepstow. One of the hopes.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. At $13.00 finished 4th last start in a hurdle at Warwick. Should improve here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid chance.

Was $12.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last run in a hurdle at Market Rasen but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Gets some weight taken off. A threat to the other main hopes.
