Tokay Dokey¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 120| BF| CD

6/5

Winner of sole bumper start and 2-3 over hurdles. Well held on chase debut back from a lengthy absence, but much better when second to Brave Seasca (winner again since) at Warwick (2m) 17 days ago.

Form: 111F/92

Fabrique En France^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 118

4/1

Fairly useful novice hurdler last term and, having undergone a second wind op, he made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up on return at Chepstow (2m). One to consider.

Form: 2/51P3-2

Sambezi²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: O Signy| OR: 117

12/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who landed a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in March. However, got no further than the first fence on debut in this sphere at Lingfield on penultimate start.

Form: 2521-F9

Generous Day²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 115| C

15/2

Now 2 lb lower than for his clear-cut Hereford victory in February, but he hasn't fired in 3 starts so far this season and needs to bounce back in a significant way.

Form: 313-485

First Angel^h²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: L Morgan| OR: 112

3/1

Made the frame both starts in bumpers and improved with each of his 3 hurdles starts, most recently finishing second in 16.8f Sedgefield maiden. Possibilities if taking to fences at the first attempt.

Form: P4-2632

Forecasts

Tokay Dokey (6/5), First Angel (3/1), Fabrique En France (4/1), Generous Day (15/2), Sambezi (12/1)

TOKAY DOKEY was well supported on the back of his belated return/chase debut and found only one who took an even bigger step forward too strong at Warwick 17 days ago. That marked him down as one to be interested in and he can go one place better. Fabrique En France is next best, ahead of First Angel.
