Garrulous declared in the 7.20 at Bangor - Form Guide

Garrulous has been declared to run in the 7.20 at Bangor tomorrow evening, and will face a maximum of six rivals.
 
Dean Coleman has been provisionally booked to ride, however the Philip Hobbs-trained Tzora has been declared only as a precaution, as he will run at Newton Abbot this afternoon unless the rain leads to ground on the soft side of good.  If as expected Tzora does pull out tomorrow, our first choice jockey Richard Johnson will take the ride on Garrulous.
Please see below the official Select Racing form guide for the race!
 
1.  Tzora - DOUBTFUL RUNNER
 
2.  Marc Aurele - Decent on the flat in France in 2008 and bought by current connections for 180,000Euro in October of that year.  Undeniably disappointing for this yard in novice hurdles last year and again when sent handicapping off unrealistic mark in 2010, but improved form when all-the-way winner at Wincanton in April.  Second has gone in since and though that looked an uncompetitive  contest, this does too and possible the decent ground helped.  Decent chance for top yard.
 
3.  Garrulous
 
4.  Danny Zuko - Won over CD last April off 103 but winless since and not done much since returning to hurdles after brief stint chasing.  Not in great form in handicap hurdles last autumn and again in the spring, and latest third came in a seller at Cartmel ten days ago.  Conditions to suit here but fisrt-time blinkers will need to bring about some improvement.
 
5. Phoenix Eye - Bolted up at Market Rasen in September but no luck since and still 10lbs higher now.  Off since November and looks up against it here.
 
6. Ajman - Minor winner on the flat in Ireland in 2008.  Bought cheaply by current connections in October last year and after inauspicious start for this yard (beaten in selling hurdles first two stars) he has found the winning habit of late, ready win in Ludlow seller followed by victory in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last week.  However, that form is worthless, as they only jumped three flights (all others omitted due to the low sun) and with the second looking reluctant, it can't have taken much winning.  Should find at least one (hopefully Garrulous!) too good here.
 
7. Obara d'Avril - Won just once from 26 starts, in a novice handicap at Market Rasen last year.  No show in handicaps over hurdles and on the level of late and can't be fancied off mark that remains 12lbs higher than for that win.
 
Recommended Bet:  Tim Vaughan is sure Garrulous will improve for this first outing in well over a year, however I would be disappointed if he isn't very competitive here; he is very well-handicapped on his old form and Tim's horses have been running particularly well of late, so despite being slightly short of peak fitness, I expect him to prove hard to beat.
 
3pts win Garrulous
