Pop The Champagne^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105| D

4/9

Bumper winner for Graeme McPherson and left previous hurdling efforts behind when readily landing a novice at Ffos Las 17 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 54/269-1

Happy Returns²²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland

33/1

Half-sister to 5 winners but didn't cost much and showed nothing at Exeter on hurdling debut 7 months ago.

Form: 0-

Lost Connections⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price

22/1

Dylan Thomas mare who was down the field in a bumper at Tipperary on sole outing 13 months ago. Has left Leonard Paul Flynn since.

Form: 0P3-2

Night Fever³⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden

7/1

Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 1½m) in Germany, below that level for Frau N. Volz-Degel in 2021. Needs market check making hurdling debut in weak race. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Form:

Sorceress Medea^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: F O'Brien

11/2

From a good jumps family and has shown a fair level of ability in bumpers. Should improve for the switch to hurdling, so looks a definite player.

Form: 072-4

My Little Toni^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

12/1

Finished alone on sole start in a point but has been disappointing so far under Rules (bumpers), leaving Bradley Gibbs prior to latest outing. Switch to hurdling might help.

Form: 13-6

Forecasts

Pop The Champagne (4/9), Sorceress Medea (11/2), Night Fever (7/1), My Little Toni (12/1), Lost Connections (22/1), Happy Returns (33/1)

NIGHT FEVER has shown fairly useful form in Germany and has joined a reliable jumps operation, so a chance is taken on her to make a winning hurdling debut after 10 months off. Pop The Champagne had plenty in hand at Ffos Las earlier in the month, so she should feature despite the penalty, and her stablemate Sorceress Medea should benefit from the switch to obstacles.
