5/4

Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Swelltime, stays 2¼m. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Jar Du Desert

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

13/2

Kapgarde gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (17f-19f winner) Doneyev. Wears hood. Can't be ruled out.

Form:

John The Pirate¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

25/1

Only fifth of 6 in juvenile hurdle at this C&D (good to firm) on hurdling debut and will probably struggle again.

Form: 5

Solomoon

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

4/1

Pether's Moon gelding. Dam (h111), lightly raced over hurdles in France, 1½m/12.5f winner on Flat. Looks the stable's first choice and boasts obvious claims.

Form:

Obsessedwithyou

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/3

Bathyrhon filly. Sister to French 15f hurdle winner Calipsa. Likely type on debut.

Form:

Ygritte

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton

18/1

Pillar Coral filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Zarib and modest hurdler Zinat, stays 2½m. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Notable newcomer for top yard.

Forecasts

Chandlers Bay (5/4), Obsessedwithyou (10/3), Solomoon (4/1), Jar Du Desert (13/2), Ygritte (18/1), John The Pirate (25/1)

This is tricky without the benefit of market clues but Chandlers Bay is related to 5 winners and represents a stable that should have him well schooled, so he gets the nod over Solomoon, who looks the pick of the Dan Skelton-trained pair. Obsessedwithyou is also worth noting if strong in the betting.
