Jubilant²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: James Owen

10/11

£40,000 Irish point recruit who built on a promising Rules debut to open his account at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago. Had plenty to spare, so worth a chance to defy the penalty.

Form: 231-

Elysian Knight

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

5/1

Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Hobb's Delight. Dam (c96/h97) 3m-27f hurdle/chase winner. Bred to need further.

Form:

Escapologist

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Joe Ponting

66/1

It's Gino gelding. Half-brother to Swiss 1¼m winner Sirene du Jour. Dam, French 1¼m/11f winner, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (17f-19f winner) Vatohio. Yard not renowned for bumpers winners.

Form:

Groovy Blue¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

9/1

From a good family but showed little other than greenness when down the field on debut at Newbury 6 months ago. Has left Emma Lavelle and joined a yard with a good bumper record, so interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Form: 8-

Mr Monopoly¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: H Fry

22/1

Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Simarian. Eleventh of 17 in bumper at Wincanton 6 months ago and others are more persuasive.

Form: 0-

The Happy Chapati²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

28/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. Most underwhelming so far, down the field again at Ludlow in April, so others are more appealing.

Form: 00-

Kevano Breeze

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: M Goldstein| T: M Madgwick

50/1

Coulsty gelding. Dam (c94/h95), 2½m chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m winner) Turtle Time Lucky. Likely to need time.

Form:

Klic Boum

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

25/1

€14,000 3-y-o, Buck's Boum gelding. Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner/fairly useful 23f chase winner Gentleman de Mai and 17f chase winner in France Harmonie de Mai. Makes some appeal on paper.

Form:

Korus³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: W Greatrex

9/1

Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Torn And Frayed, stays 3m. Promising start when third at Market Rasen last month and expected to step forward from it, so not dismissed.

Form: 3-

Russells Wish

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland

40/1

4,000 gns 3-y-o, Dartmouth gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Road Warrior and fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Theformismighty. Cheap purchase in relation to his pedigree and he will probably benefit from this experience.

Form:

Silver Hill Flyer³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith

66/1

Pulled up around halfway at Plumpton on debut and almost impossible to fancy.

Form: P-

Getaways Gift³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

6/1

Getaway filly who left debut form behind when second under a positive ride at Plumpton last time. Should go well again, particularly if allowed another soft lead.

Form: 52-

Forecasts

Jubilant (10/11), Elysian Knight (5/1), Getaways Gift (6/1), Groovy Blue (9/1), Korus (9/1), Mr Monopoly (22/1), Klic Boum (25/1), The Happy Chapati (28/1), Russells Wish (40/1), Kevano Breeze (50/1), Escapologist (66/1), Silver Hill Flyer (66/1)

JUBILANT opened his Rules account in ready fashion at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago and, with more to come, he should have enough to defy a penalty. Getaways Gift is a danger on the back of a good second at Plumpton and Korus can't be ruled out.
