Cave Bleu¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: J Mackie

150/1

Showed more than previously when third in small-field bumper at Market Rasen in May but is likely best watched on hurdles bow here.

Form: 40-3

Cuban Court¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N B King

6/1

Made a winning debut in 4-runner Fontwell bumper in April 2022 and showed even better form in defeat after a year off when runner-up at this course next time. However, proved disappointing since, including on hurdles bow last month.

Form: 1/20-P

Daaris¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost

11/2

Fair Flat winner but finished well held on switch to hurdling at Market Rasen 16 days ago.

Form: 7

Jean De Monts²⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

15/2

Showed some ability when sixth in 2m minor event on only outing on Flat in France and is worth monitoring in market on hurdles debut for excellent yard.

Form:

King Of The Road²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

25/1

Easy to back before finishing eleventh of 13 in bumper at Newbury (16.3f, soft) on NH debut 23 days ago, pulling hard. Looks to be stable's second string on hurdles bow.

Form: 0

Lawmans Blis^h1⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

11/1

Modest Flat winner who makes limited appeal on yard/jumps debut in first time hood.

Form:

Mister Moodles²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies

9/2

Made the frame both starts in bumpers last season but finished well held on switch to hurdling at Sedgefield last month.

Form: 34-6

Sea Grey¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

11/8

Fairly useful performer on Flat, making the frame 3 times for David O'Meara this year. Has to be of interest on hurdling debut for new yard, particularly if market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Tufton Avenue⁵⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: L Horsfall

33/1

Successful in match on sole points outing but never really threatened in a couple of bumpers last year and is best watched on hurdles debut for new connections here.

Form: 1/54-

Forecasts

Personal Ambition (8/11), Sea Grey (11/8), Mister Moodles (9/2), Daaris (11/2), Cuban Court (6/1), Jean De Monts (15/2), Hawkseye View (10/1), Lawmans Blis (11/1), King Of The Road (25/1), Tufton Avenue (33/1), Cave Bleu (150/1)

Warwick winner PERSONAL AMBITION looks to have been found a good opportunity to double his tally and can take full advantage. Hurdling debutants Sea Grey and Jean de Monts may provide the chief threat.
