200/1

Well held in bumpers and on last month's Hexham hurdling debut.

Form: 070-

Lelantos⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/1

Respectable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, good) on hurdles bow 41 days ago. May do better with that experience under his belt.

Form: 3505-

Mackelduff⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 111

4/6

Promising sort who found improvement when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Longer trip likely to suit and holds obvious claims.

Form: 43-

Mozzaro²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: M Keighley

12/1

Bumper efforts weren't devoid of ability but has yet to figure in a couple of outings over hurdles. Up in trip.

Form: 45456-

P T Barnum⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry

7/1

Refused to race on debut and only modest form when fourth of 10 in bumper at Uttoxeter since. Makes limited appeal on hurdles bow.

Form: R4-

Bad Attitude⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: Alice Haynes

17/2

Fair Flat winner, scoring 3 times last year. Below par of late, however, and likely best watched on hurdling debut.

Forecasts

Mackelduff (4/6), Lelantos (4/1), Moonlight Flit (6/1), P T Barnum (7/1), Bad Attitude (17/2), Mozzaro (12/1), Close Friend (14/1), Harry Go (200/1)

MACKELDUFF built on his promising debut effort when third at Haydock in March and looks sure to do better yet. He can open his account. Moonlight Flit and Lelantos look the obvious dangers.
