Donnie Azoff²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

9/2

Showed a bit when second on Southwell debut in July. Similar form when third at Uttoxeter 7 weeks later and should be thereabouts again.

Form: 23

Fix Bayonets¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

11/2

Closely related to 2 winners, and half-brother to smart bumper winner Killyglass. Promising second of 6 in bumper at this C&D (soft, 13/8) on NH debut 15 days ago, clear of rest. Sets the standard.

Form: 2

Galan Des Planches

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/4

€65,000 3-y-o, Crillon gelding. Dam 2¼m-2¾m chase winner in France. Of obvious interest for yard that has excellent record in bumpers.

Form:

Masteroftheheights

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: M F Harris

25/1

Masterofthehorse gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Lou's Diamond. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 7f). Booking of Johnson catches the eye.

Form:

Notnownotnever

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: T H Weston

50/1

Notnowcato gelding. Dam, maiden pointer, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 19f) Bambi de L'orme. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

Shantou's Melody

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

11/4

€72,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding and first foal of a Grade 1-winning hurdler. Likely type.

Form:

Sheila's Spirit³⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: D J Coakley

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, twelfth of 15 in bumper at Huntingdon (13.7f, good to soft). Off 10 months. Up in trip.

Form: 50-

Div Ine Tara

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/2

Kayf Tara mare. Dam (c115) 25f-33f chase winner. Yard a force in bumpers and very interesting to see how she goes in betting.

Forecasts

Galan Des Planches (9/4), Shantou's Melody (11/4), Donnie Azoff (9/2), Div Ine Tara (11/2), Fix Bayonets (11/2), Masteroftheheights (25/1), Notnownotnever (50/1), Sheila's Spirit (125/1)

FIX BAYONETS came clear of the rest when runner-up over this C&D on debut 2 weeks ago and can put that experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, notably Galan des Planches and Shantou's Melody.
