9/2

Fairly useful Flat winner off the mark over hurdles in similar Newton Abbot event 6 weeks ago, coping well with the relative test of speed. Player again under a penalty.

Form:

Flash Collonges^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

10/1

€95,000 3-y-o, Saddler Maker gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Cesar Collonges and Baladin Collonges. Newcomer clearly of interest for top yard. Tongue tied.

Form:

Honor Grey²⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling

15/2

€70,000 brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Emily Gray and bumper winner/useful hurdler Pride Ofthe Parish. Fair form in bumpers in January and should have a future in this sphere. Upped in trip.

Form:

Inca Rose²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

9/4

Promising debut in bumper in March and made an encouraging start to hurdling career at Wetherby 3 weeks ago (might have done even better had he kept straight). Up in trip and should progress.

Form:

Mykonos Ammos²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

66/1

Well held in Ffos Las bumper on debut last month but shaped as though this much longer trip would suit now jumping.

Form:

Santon²⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

15/2

Showed a bit in Southwell bumper and Market Rasen novice hurdle last season. This longer trip will suit on return.

Form:

Steady Away²⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 115

5/1

Fair form in bumpers/over hurdles, shaping well behind the promising Ballyhome in 20.6f Market Rasen handicap when last seen in February (late errors). Leading claims on return.

Form:

Wildfire Warrior²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

13/2

Showed plenty in a couple of useful Warwick bumpers last season and looks the type to do well now jumping.

Form:

Potters Vision¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle

33/1

From a cracking NH family and not had much racing, not knocked about on return from another absence in 22f Stratford maiden hurdle recently.

Forecasts

Inca Rose (9/4), Noble Behest (9/2), Steady Away (5/1), Wildfire Warrior (13/2), Honor Grey (15/2), Santon (15/2), Flash Collonges (10/1), Potters Vision (33/1), Mykonos Ammos (66/1), Ryveater (200/1)

STEADY AWAY had every chance before late mistakes crept in when second in a Market Rasen handicap when last seen and clearly has races in him. This longer trip will suit and he could make his experience count against the Paul Nicholls' newcomer Flash Collonges. Newton Abbot-winner Noble Behest shouldn't be dismissed under a penalty either.
