Selected odds by:
Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and justified substantial support in impressive fashion on last month's C&D hurdling debut. Sure to progress and looks more than capable of defying a penalty.
|
Notched a win on the Flat for Clare Hobson this year but has shown little all 3 starts over hurdles.
|
€48,000 5-y-o, Dansant gelding. Half-brother to a multiple point winner. Dam (c83) 2¾m chase winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 19).
|
Shaped with encouragement when second of 8 in a bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) on debut, albeit no match for winner. Off 11 months but should have a future over jumps.
|
Bumper in winner in late 2022 who shaped as if in need of the experience making hurdling debut after a long absence when fourth at Ffos Las in May. Hood on for 1st time.
|
Down the field in a Huntingdon bumper in November 2020. Just modest form on the Flat, proving too free when well held on most recent outing.
|
Went with little promise when pulled up on his Stratford hurdle debut in May 2023. Completed a hat-trick on the Flat in the winter but it's still only modest form.
|
Useful on the Flat in France, stays 1½m, won listed race at Longchamp second and final start in 2023. Sold from S. Kobayashi 16,000 gns later in year. Interesting hurdling debutant.
|
Fair maiden handicapper on Flat but little impact competed starts over hurdles, carried out by loose horse at Stratford last week.

Forecasts
Valsad (2/5), Guard Duty (10/3), Virtual Rock (6/1), Mandega (10/1), Deploy To Spy (14/1), Fortune D'honfleur (25/1), Dance Rules (33/1), Thunder Gap (100/1), Steel Soldier (100/1), Line Out (100/1), Pyrrhic Dancer (125/1), Dartman (150/1), Prince Abu (200/1), Barbarosa (200/1)
VALSAD, a good quality recruit from the Flat, ran out quite an impressive winner on his C&D hurdling debut last month and is surely good enough to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Virtual Rock showed a similar level of form on the level to the selection and is feared most ahead of Guard Duty.
