Little Jack¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

3/1

Was a 15L length winner of a Fontwell bumper (good) on debut in June, when his chief market rival failed to fire. Penalised for that promising effort, but can again go very well.

Form: 1

Clondaw Robin^h1²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison

100/1

Showed little in point-to-points and looks best watched on rules debut.

Form: F-U5

Johnbb

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Lacey

8/1

€57,000 three-year-old. Dam unraced sister to winning hunter chaser Not Before Eight and half-sister to two other staying hurdle winners. Stable yet to have a bumper winner this season, but five-year average 15%. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Lemon T

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

9/2

10th foal. Brother to 2m hurdle winner Temple Man, half-brother to four winners inc two in bumpers. Dam unraced half-sister to 2m4f chase winner Sparkle Wood. Stable in form and does well in this discipline. Interesting.

Form:

Mystic Court^h1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

10/1

Cost £32,000 after winning an Irish point-to-point in May. 10-1 and made a respectable debut at Southwell last month. Should improve for that, and can't be ruled out. Hood now fitted.

Form: UF-15

Ruthless Article^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: Miss R Curtis

4/1

Runner-up in bumpers at Downpatrick and then, on debut for this trainer, at Wincanton recently. The latter marks him out as a likely player here.

Form: 52-2

Winningseverything

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

11/4

€80,000 at three. Half-brother to 4 winners inc Brave Vic (2m4f Grade 3 hurdle). Dam runner-up in bumper, half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Balapour. Trainer usually 21% in bumpers, although no winner yet this season. Interesting.

Form:

Lahloo³⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: N Kent

200/1

50-1 and beaten 28L on debut in a 1m5f bumper here last month. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Winningseverything (11/4), Little Jack (3/1), Ruthless Article (4/1), Lemon T (9/2), Johnbb (8/1), Mystic Court (10/1), Clondaw Robin (100/1), Lahloo (200/1)

Little Jack has to be taken very seriously under his penalty, but those looking to pick holes in his 15-length win might suggest that he had little to beat that day, and he might be worth taking on with newcomer LEMON T. Ruth Jefferson's gelding comes from a good family, while his trainer is both in good form and does well in bumpers. Mystic Court could get competitive, given the benefit of a run, while Ruthless Article is of similar ilk. Both Johnbb and Winningiseverything should be monitored in the market.
