17/2

Made a fine start over fences for his new yard when landing a pair of 2m4f Bangor handicaps but he has failed to complete in a trio of starts since, brought down 5 out back at Bangor last time. Not one to write off.

Form: F1-1UPB

Hashtag Boum¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 115

11/4

A fairly useful and consistent hurdler who scored at Market Rasen in February. Respectable eighth at Ayr (24.3f, soft) when last seen out in April so one to be interested in now going chasing with Brian Hughes up for the first time.

Form: 622148-

Wholeofthemoon^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107

22/1

A fair winning hurdler at his best. Came in last of 8 in Flat handicap at Chester (12.3f, soft) 17 days ago so needs to bounce back now going over fences.

Form: 3/51230-

Climbing^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103

7/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has been placed in 2m4f novice handicap chase at Stratford and Worcester this summer. Enters calculations once more.

Form: 5274-23

Copper Beach³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 102

5/1

A fair winning hurdler who wasn't disgraced when eighth in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 38 days ago. Not discounted starting out over fences now.

Form: 727-508

Presenting Pete²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: J Mackie| OR: 99

9/2

Took a step back in right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 25 days ago. Needs considering on his chase debut.

Form: 64-PP44

Konfusion¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 92

13/2

Low-mileage 6-y-o who posted a good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to firm) 102 days ago. Much respected on his first go over the larger obstacles.

Form: 33/988-3

Hashtag Boum (11/4), Climbing (7/2), Isholo Du Vivien (4/1), Presenting Pete (9/2), Copper Beach (5/1), Konfusion (13/2), Lipa K (17/2), Wholeofthemoon (22/1)

This looks wide open and marginal preference is for HASHTAG BOUM, a reliable and fairly useful winning hurdler who has the services of Brian Hughes for the first time now she goes over fences. Jamie Snowden's Climbing has been placed on both his runs in this sphere and seems sure to be on the premises again, while Lipa K is another worthy of consideration despite failing to complete on his last three runs.
