Geordies Dream²¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss P Robson| D

16/1

No fluke about his 28/1 Kelso debut success back in April. On the shortlist but he will almost certainly need to better that form to follow up under a penalty on his return.

Form: 1-

Allanah's Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

11/2

€15,000 Westerner half-brother to fair hurdler Golden Robin. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Well Mounted. Would enter reckoning if betting vibes strong.

Form:

Bannside

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: I A Duncan

20/1

£20,000 Robin Des Champs gelding. Brother to a winning pointer. Best watched on debut unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form:

Carnfunnock²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

11/8

Made an encouraging start to his career when third of 22 in bumper at Punchestown (good to soft) in April. The one to beat for a trainer who does so well in bumpers over here.

Form: 3-

Chris Cool²³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

40/1

Modest form in 3 bumpers last season so likely vulnerable again on this reappearance.

Form: 536-

Cowboy Cooper

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans

20/1

€6,500 Frammassone gelding. Dam unraced out of useful 2½m-3m hurdle winner Catch Ball. Stable gets the odd bumper winner so worth a precautionary betting check.

Form:

Euchan Falls²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith

200/1

10/1, eighth of 11 in C&D bumper (good) on debut 22 days ago. Needs to have come a fair bit.

Form: 8

Lord Roco²³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ewart

50/1

10/1, green and shaped like a stayer when sixth of 10 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on debut in April.

Form: 6-

Mountain Glory²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

100/1

22/1, sixth of 10 in bumper at Kelso (soft) on debut in April. Will need to step up on that form to get heavily involved.

Form: 6-

Paddock Cottage

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

7/2

£45,000 Pour Moi gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 8.6f winner Park Place. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Much respected on debut for a yard whcih enjoys plenty of bumper success.

Form:

Star^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: I JardineWS

22/1

Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam 5f winner. Had wing surgery ahead of debut (also wears a tongue tie). Betting should guide.

Form:

Vintage Fizz²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

9/2

Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 12 at Bangor in April. Needs more again on return.

Form: 65-

Alien Encounter²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: L Kerr

250/1

18/1, ninth of 11 in C&D bumper (good) on debut 22 days ago.

Form: 9

Miss Valentine²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Young Jnr

200/1

12/1, sixth of 11 in C&D bumper (good) on debut 22 days ago. Likely up against it again.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Carnfunnock (11/8), Paddock Cottage (7/2), Vintage Fizz (9/2), Allanah's Boy (11/2), Geordies Dream (16/1), Cowboy Cooper (20/1), Bannside (20/1), Star (22/1), Chris Cool (40/1), Lord Roco (50/1), Mountain Glory (100/1), Euchan Falls (200/1), Miss Valentine (200/1), Alien Encounter (250/1)

CARNFUNNOCK shaped with plenty of promise when third in a big field at Punchestown last spring and should take a bit of stopping on his return. Nicky Richards newcomer Paddock Cottage is put up as the chief threat ahead of Kelso debut scorer Geordies Dream.
