Selected odds by:
14/1, sixth of 8 in bumper here on his debut under Rules 18 days ago. This Blue Bresil gelding makes his hurdles debut with more needed.
|
£170,000 point recruit has shaped well when second in bumper at Newcastle and fifth of 22 in similar company at Punchestown (18.8f, good to soft) in May. Interesting now starting out in this sphere.
|
A fair 17f bumper winner last November but a well-beaten ninth in listed bumper at Newbury in February. Since had a wind op and much respected now going over hurdles for top yard.
|
12/1, made an encouraging start hurdling when fourth of 9 in novice at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 6 months ago. This longer trip promises to suit so he's very much one to consider on his return.
|
Won sole start in Irish points but pulled up in a brace of maiden hurdles at Ayr last season. Lots more is required after 7 months off.
|
Maiden pointer who has finished only mid-division in 2 novice hurdles 12 months apart. Needs to take a major step forward.
|
€35,000 3-y-o, £75,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Don't Tell Su and fairly useful hurdler Our Soldier. Got off the mark in Irish points in April so needs considering on his first go in this sphere for good yard.
|
50/1, last of 5 in novice hurdle over C&D (good) on NH debut 18 days ago. Significantly more is needed.
|
Took 6 attempts to get off the mark in Irish points and well held both runs over hurdles at Carlisle and Newcastle last December. Not easy to make a case for after 9 months off.

Forecasts
Conman John (4/11), Dramatic License (11/4), Great Fleet (9/2), Timefortom (6/1), Kelvin Forlonge (9/1), Rightbackatyou (66/1), Whispering Dancer (80/1), Blue Indigo (100/1), Knightphase (100/1), Top Of The Stars (200/1)
The market could reveal plenty but CONMAN JOHN appeals as a promising hurdling recruit so is taken to go in at the chief expense of penalised Irish raider Dramatic License. Other newcomers Great Fleet and Timefortom could also have a say along with the returning Kelvin Forlonge who should be suited by this step up in trip.
