Settings
Selected odds by:
100/30, showed ability when third of 10 in bumper at Stratford on debut in March. Switches to hurdles on return. Has potential.
|
Fourth in a course bumper on New Year's Day. Much better effort over hurdles subsequently when 12 lengths second of 8 at Warwick (2m, good) in March. Has had wind surgery ahead of this reappearance.
|
Made a winning start to his career in a Newton Abbot bumper in June. Did that quite convincingly and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.
|
Has looked limited in various company.
|
Maiden pointer who was a remote fourth in a course bumper in March. Did offer a bit when fifth in a Bangor novice hurdle last month on his first outing for Philip Hobbs. Far Sight has to be considered the yard's first string, though.
|
Signs of ability amidst greenness when fourth of 9 in a Southwell bumper a year ago. Has had wind surgery ahead of this hurdle debut/reappearance. Betting should help guide to expectations.
|
Pulled up in sole point and well held on Ffos Las hurdle debut 3 weeks ago.
|
Looked limited in 3 bumpers in Ireland in 2019/20. Did reach the frame in a point last winter but never involved on recent hurdle/yard debut at Hereford. Unlikely to be of interest until handicapping.
|
Fair maiden on Flat (stays 2m), well held at Newbury last month. Watching brief is advised on hurdle debut.
|
33/1, showed a bit when sixth of 13 in a course bumper in April but not enough to suggest he's likely to make a winning start over hurdles on his return to action.
|
Out of an unraced sister to connections' top-class hurdler/chaser Thistlecrack but he didn't shape with any obvious promise on his Chepstow bumper debut in March.
|
€8,500 Zambezi Sun half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Classical Art. Betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.
|
Smart bumper performer. Looked in need to the experience when a well-held fourth on his Chepstow bumper debut 19 days ago. Has the potential to leave that bare form well behind, particularly with his stable in such good form.
|
Well beaten in a bumper and 3 hurdles. Booked for another struggle.
|
Half-brother to bumper winner/useful 3m hurdle winner Shantreusse. Third in an Irish point in February. Interesting runner for stable which won this race last year.

Forecasts
Timeforatune (4/6), Far Sight (6/1), Ben Bulben (13/2), Western General (7/1), Aldsworth (17/2), Gingerbred (20/1), Hungry Hill (25/1), Robinsville (40/1), Steel My Thunder (50/1), Prince Rhinegold (80/1), Kingsfort Hill (100/1), Mardoof (100/1), Ipsos Pierji (150/1), Flash Gorcombe (400/1), Watchoutitscookie (400/1)
With the Paul Nicholls team in flying form TIMEFORATUNE is well worth another chance to show he can translate his bumper ability to hurdles. Far Sight won his sole bumper in convincing fashion and may give the selection most to do ahead of the Joe Tizzard point recruit Western General.
