Chicago Storm⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 113

3/1

Landed a Dundalk AW Flat claimer on final run for previous stable and has continued in fine form over hurdles for new yard, winning handicaps at Wincanton and Stratford this year. Shaped as though still in top form when third back on the level in April and he can remain competitive.

Junkanoo^b³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 113

9/4

Winning novice hurdler at Plumpton in January 2024 but yet to make a significant impact in handicaps. Fit from the Flat and this is a slight drop in trip back hurdling in a change of headgear.

Form: P8/5350-

Songo²⁹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: R G Hawker| OR: 111

16/1

Fairly useful Flat performer who won a pair of novice hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.5f) last summer. Solid start for new yard when runner-up in handicap at that venue in May but backward steps both outings since.

Form: 173/245-

Bread And Butter^t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 108

66/1

Won a trio of hurdles for Olly Murphy in November/December but ended time for that yard in slightly disappointing fashion. Hasn't really looked a natural over fences and now back over timber on second start for this yard.

Form: 11374-7

Man Of The Sea^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 104| BF| D

15/8

Returned from a winter break to win on the Flat at Bath and posted another creditable effort when second over hurdles at Taunton. Failed to travel with much fluency, including when heavily backed over C&D a fortnight ago but he can be a factor again.

Form: 2122-43

Lightning Maqueen¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

9/2

Showed promise in bumpers and much more like it over hurdles when third of 8 here over 19f a fortnight ago. Drop in trip not certain to suit but a potential improver now he's up and running.

Form: 535/5P-3

Forecasts

Man Of The Sea (15/8), Junkanoo (9/4), Chicago Storm (3/1), Lightning Maqueen (9/2), Songo (16/1), Bread And Butter (66/1)

CHICAGO STORM has done really well upon his switch to Daisy Hitchins and having shaped as though still in top form on the level when last seen, he gets the vote. Man of The Sea often looks hard work but is definitely weighted to get involved, with Junkanoo also of some interest down slightly in grade.
