Verdict

PREMIER FANTASY has found just one too strong in 3 of his 5 starts for current connections and this represents a good opportunity for Nick Scholfield's 7-y-o to get off the mark. Akrramm hasn't been seen for 12 months, but he can give the selection most to think about returning for new connections on hurdling debut, with Golden Garden taken to fill out third.

1	Multiple point winner who has matched the pick of his hurdles form back over fences recently, shaping better than previously with cheekpieces fitted when second of 10 in handicap at Stratford (23f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago.

2	Only made the track 4 times for Roger Varian, taking a small step forward when second of 9 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) when last seen 12 months ago. Hood on for hurdling/yard debut (sold for just 2,500 gns) but worth keeping a close eye on in the betting. 2nd Pick 2 Akrramm Jockey: Mr James Murray Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: Mr James Murray T: Mickey Bowen	84	-	-	-	15%

Had another breathing operation and showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when fifth of 8 in a Ludlow novice back in March but no better than mid-field in 4 Flat outings since. 3rd Pick 3 Golden Garden (Usa) Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Warren Greatrex J: James Bowen T: Warren Greatrex	81	-	-	-	10%
