Southwell Race 5 - Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TREAD CAREFULLY (7) finished second three times out of five career starts including on most recent appearance in a course and distance maiden hurdle four weeks ago. May go one better. NICE ONE ERIC (5) is yet to find the top-three in three career outings so far. Last seen producing a disappointing seventh attempting a Taunton maiden hurdle where the runner-up has won subsequently. May act on those form claims. SNOW IS IN THE SKY (9) makes debut under rules racing for a new trainer. Won a point-to-point in latest by 10L and worth considering. COLLANISI (1) cannot be discounted following a break. Might improve after running eighth at Exeter.

Last outing made ground from midfield; ran last in a small field at Warwick on February 20 over 3800m, on slow going 73 len behind Sinnatra with 71kg at $151. The start before that; finished ninth of 14 starters at Uttoxeter on January 24 over 3200m, slow track; 70 len behind Tales Of Bravery with 73.5kg at $151. Tougher here and will need to take another step up.

Last start finished ninth of 11 runners at Ludlow on February 4 over 3200m, on slow going 46 len behind Sherminator with 66.5kg at $101. Before that settled back and ran on when finished seventh of 12 starters at Uttoxeter on December 31 over 3200m, 42 len behind Millstatt Abbey with 71kg at $29. Is hard to recommend.
