Gunner Lindley is a fascinating contender on his hurdling handicap debut in the 1.25 at Kelso today on his first start for Stuart Coltherd and looks well worth a wager at 9/1.

The gelding was a useful sort at his best on the flat and easily won an apprentice handicap at Leopardstown on his penultimate start when trained in Ireland by Denis Hogan.

He also shaped with plenty of promise in five runs in maiden hurdles for that handler, finishing fourth of 20 to Notable Graduate at Galway and occupying the same position behind Prince Chaparall in a 13-runner affair at Tramore.

The winner of the latter was officially rated 112 that day, and the third home Run For Firth has simnce come out and won at Galway to give the form a solid look in the context of this contest.

The selection does not look overburdened off an opening mark of 102 judged on that effort, especially with useful claimer Daragh Bourke taking another 7lb off his back.

His handler is also in terrific form at present having saddled 4 winners and 2 seconds from his last 10 runners, and everything looks in place for a huge run.

Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Gunner Lindley (9/1 Stan James – BOG)
