All Clenched Up¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

2/1

Tasted success at the second time of asking in a 10-runner bumper at Kelso in September. Found the going tough in listed company later that year but in good hands now hurdling.

Form: 2169-

Fenney Brook⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly

28/1

Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Knight Bachelor, but looks a handicap project.

Form: 64-F

Flighty Bride¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: D J Jeffreys

28/1

Modest form in bumpers. Similar form when mid-field on hurdles debut recently and likely needs more time.

Form: 3550-7

Ocean Reach^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: R J Price

20/1

Long-standing maiden on the Flat but did show more on second hurdles start fitted with a tongue tie when third of 8 at Bangor.

Form: 93

Pop The Champagne^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| BF

9/4

Bumper winner at Lingfield before creditable efforts at Newbury and Cheltenham this spring. Similar form when runner-up at Southwell last month, conceding first run and now switches to hurdling.

Form: 154-2

Princess Ruby⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

11/2

Opening hurdles run at Warwick wasn't devoid of promise. Now needs to build on that.

Form: 34-6

Clarina¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: M Young

150/1

Little show in 2 points, pulled up last time (May 31).

Form: 6-P

She's All In Gold²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

10/3

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Theophilus (2m winner, by Teofilo), stays 2½m. Fair maiden on Flat, stays 2m, placed in handicaps last 2 starts for Tom Dascombe.

Forecasts

All Clenched Up (2/1), Pop The Champagne (9/4), She's All In Gold (10/3), Princess Ruby (11/2), Legendary Grace (10/1), September Daisy (16/1), Ocean Reach (20/1), Flighty Bride (28/1), Fenney Brook (28/1), Clarina (150/1)

POP THE CHAMPAGNE and All Clenched Up were of similar merit in bumpers, winning once, and given the standard by those with hurdles experience is modest, they could dominate. Marginal preference is for Graeme McPherson's mare, with She's All In Gold another to consider based on her Flat ability.
