Andy Amo³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

10/3

Made a promising start in this sphere when second of 10 in novice hurdle here (21.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Looks open to progress. Player.

Form: 334-2

Jack To Bat³⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

£30,000 3-y-o, £130,000 4-y-o, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Lofgren and modest chaser Gatacre Street. Runner-up in an Irish point. Considered newcomer.

Form: P2-

Jig's Forge²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

9/4

€25,000 3-y-o, £75,000 5-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam (b82) lightly raced in bumpers. Got off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in April so of obvious interest on his debut.

Form: F31-

Johnny Boy²¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams

33/1

6/1, last of 6 in bumper here 7 months ago. In good hands so not written off now making his hurdles debut up in trip.

Form: 6-

Livy's Lad^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

200/1

Fourth of 6 sole start in points but has offered little both starts under Rules this autumn.

Form: 458

Blue Las²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

6/4

Fairly useful form when landing 10-runner bumper at Uttoxeter 7 months ago. Very much one to consider now going over hurdles debut with her stamina drawn out more.

Form: 411-

Kate Of The Lodge³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

40/1

£50,000 but after easily getting off the mark in Irish points but only sixth of 7 in bumper here 38 days ago. Worth another chance on her hurdles bow.

Form: U1-6

Prophet Squeeze^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A M Thorpe

300/1

Fifth both completed starts in Irish points but very low-key start over hurdles.

Form: F5-5P7F

Royal Malinas¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: Mrs N S Evans

300/1

Third both starts in Irish points in late 2022 but off a long time and limited promise boh runs over hurdles this autumn.

Form: 33/97

Sheeka Supreme^h1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris

200/1

Successful in Irish points in October 2022 but eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 80/1) on NH debut 40 days ago. Hooded now.

Form: 221/0

Hettie Henigan¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Paul O'Brien| T: D M Loughnane

200/1

33/1, eighth of 12 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 172 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip.

Form: 8

Kalista Love²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

17/2

Fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. May do better.

Form: 5-5

T: Billy Aprahamian J: G Sheehan

Forecasts

Blue Las (6/4), Jig's Forge (9/4), Andy Amo (10/3), Stone's Throw (5/1), Kalista Love (17/2), Jack To Bat (12/1), Johnny Boy (33/1), Kate Of The Lodge (40/1), Livy's Lad (200/1), Sheeka Supreme (200/1), Hettie Henigan (200/1), Prophet Squeeze (300/1), Royal Malinas (300/1)

STONE'S THROW made a promising start for Billy Aprahamian when a strong-finishing Ludlow third and can build on it now his stamina is drawn out more and get off the mark. Course runner-up Andy Amo also has better days ahead of him though so rates a big danger, while hurdling newcomers Blue Las, Jig's Forge and Jack To Bat all bring potential too.
