Blue In The West⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 94| D

10/1

Modest maiden hurdler who was no match for the odds-on winner on first outing since leaving Eamonn Francis Gallagher in 5-runner novice hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 4 days ago. Doesn't look especially well treated on this return to handicap company.

Form: P2778-2

Lucky Bounce⁹⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Potter| OR: 82| BF

5/2

Showed first form when narrowly failing to land a gamble in 23f Market Rasen handicap in December 2022, collared near the finish having looked in control. However, hasn't been seen since, so it's hard to know what to expect on this belated return.

Form: 97702/

Little Miller⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 77| DWS

22/1

Has shown little in a trio of maiden hurdles but her sole start in Irish points and may do better now handicapping over further following a breathing operation.

Form: 1/876-

Miss Popalong^h⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 77

4/1

Clearly not the easiest to train but shaped well for a long way upped markedly in trip when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Has got the ability to win a race of this nature.

Form: 8PF/343-

Blackacre^p³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 75

11/2

Maiden who wasn't disgraced when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 39 days ago. Eased 2 lb and entitled to be on the premises on the pick of his form.

Form: 623523-

Harvie Wallbanger^p1⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: S Bowen| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 74| D

3/1

Irish point winner who ran to a fair level when placed in bumpers. However, hasn't offered much encouragement over hurdles, including back from 2 years off in a Chepstow handicap last month. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 6067P/6-

Junior Des Mottes^p1⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 70

9/1

Fair form shown in bumpers back in 2023, but no promise gleaned in 5 starts over hurdles, including when pulled up on handicap debut at Chepstow last time.

Form: 4/0700P-

Forecasts

Lucky Bounce (5/2), Harvie Wallbanger (3/1), Miss Popalong (4/1), Blackacre (11/2), Junior Des Mottes (9/1), Blue In The West (10/1), Little Miller (22/1)

MISS POPALONG clearly isn't the easiest to train (fragile type), but she shaped well for a long way upped in trip at Exeter on her most recent outing in March and patently has the ability to win a race of this nature on that evidence. Blackacre is a long-standing maiden but is entitled to be on the premises on the pick of her form.
