8/1

Confirmed hurdles debut promise back from 5 months off when landing 7-runner Cartmel maiden (22f) in May. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth on return at Cork (24.2f) last month prior to unseating early on at Galway last week. Not out of things.

Form: 34-15U

Whistle Stop Tour³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

11/4

Changed hands for £115,000 on the back of success in Irish points and justified odd-son favouritism to make a winning start over hurdles in a Hexham novice (16.2f, heavy) 30 days ago, making all and jumping well. Big player with improvement expected.

Form: 51-1

Both Barrels²²⁵

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

17/2

Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, posting best effort to date when third at Kelso (16.2f, soft) back in March. No reason why he won't have a future in this sphere and interesting what the market makes of him back from 7 months off.

Glenavaddra²³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: G Bewley

300/1

Point winner but has shown nothing in 4 runs under Rules, including on the back of a wind op when pulled up at Hexham (20f) in March.

Form: 421/PPP-

Imperial Rule¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies

80/1

Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam (c110) 17f chase winner. Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 30) and the betting should prove a useful guide ahead of this Rules/hurdling debut.

Form: 4R-33

Iturgeon Du Breuil¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh

250/1

£10,000 5-y-o, Turgeon gelding. Placed in Irish point in May but offered little short-term encouragement when sixth of 9 in a 17f novice here 17 days ago.

Form: P-36

Johnnywho^t1²²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

4/5

Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags back in October 2021 and looked a smart prospect when running away with 9-runner bumper at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut in March. Looks a powerful traveller and very much of interest on hurdles bow.

Mount Falcon¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed

150/1

£4,000 5-y-o, Ask gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Ocean Cove (by Ask). Last of 3 finishers on Irish point debut, pulled up other start (Apr 21). Likely best watched on Rules/hurdling debut.

Form: 3P-

Mullys Choice²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

25/1

Picked up for £60,000 after finishing second in a maiden point last November but didn't show too much immediate promise when fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Looks one for further down the line.

Form: 2-5

Yealand²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

12/1

€60,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding who is bred to stay well and he made an encouraging start when second in 6-runner junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m) back in April. Very much the type to improve, particularly now upped in trip.

Form: 2-

Belleme Basc²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: R P McLernon| T: Ruth Jefferson

50/1

£50,000 3-y-o: third foal: dam lightly-raced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (2¼m-2¾m winner) Mandarin Basc. Unplaced on completed start in Irish points (Apr 2) and the betting may provide a useful guide as to expectations ahead of this Rules debut.

Forecasts

Johnnywho (4/5), Whistle Stop Tour (11/4), Moon D'orange (8/1), Both Barrels (17/2), Yealand (12/1), Le Jeune Bresil (12/1), Mullys Choice (25/1), Belleme Basc (50/1), Imperial Rule (80/1), Brasingaman Bella (100/1), Mount Falcon (150/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (250/1), Glenavaddra (300/1)

Successful on his only start in points, JOHNNYWHO looked potentially smart when making a winning bumper debut at Taunton (16.5f) back in March, travelling with purpose and quickening clear impressively. An exciting hurdles debutant, he earns the vote to make a winning return equipped with a first-time tongue tie. Whistle Stop Tour rates the lead danger following his all-the-way success at Hexham 30 days ago, with Yealand and Moon d'Orange a couple of others to note.
