28/1

€65,000 foal, £10,000. Getaway gelding. £10,000 5-y-o. First foal of a dam lightly raced in bumpers/hurdles, related to high-class performer Simonsig and useful winner Dusart. Maiden Irish pointer, last of 5 last time (May 2025)

Jamada¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

30/100

Much improved when making third bumper start a winning one at Naas in April, travelling well and edging ahead in the final 100 yards. Should be a significant player on hurdles debut having transferred to a powerful yard.

Form: 471-

Saint Polo¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

22/1

€45,000, £5,500. Storm The Stars gelding. €45,000 3-y-o, £5,500 5-y-o Dam was a winner over 11.5f-15f in France and is half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Sainte Doctor. Unplaced both starts in points.

Form: 5-5

Supreme George¹⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 100

10/1

Best effort when second of 9 at Doncaster in November. Not in the same form both starts since, shaping as if amiss in first-time hood at Carlisle in March.

Swashbuckler^t¹⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 79

150/1

Poor performer over hurdles, finishing 11th of 13 at Hexham (100/1) when racing off the pace and losing touch.

Form: 0F7/P0-0

L'insurge^h1¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Robson

80/1

Limited impact in a brace of bumpers during the spring. Makes hurdle debut wearing first-time hood.

Romancier³²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

33/1

Was brought down on debut, then fifth of 7 at Warwick, held back by mistakes. Needs improvement in jumping technique to be competitive.

Form: B5-

Jolie Coeur Allen^t1¹⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 107| BF

10/3

Inconsistent performer with no wins in 13 starts in various company. Second of 10 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (2/1 favourite) 101 days ago, travelled well in front but found little when challenged. Tongue strap back on and she sets the standard.

Form: 33/66-52

Forecasts

Jamada (30/100), Jolie Coeur Allen (10/3), Supreme George (10/1), Saint Polo (22/1), Carrhill (28/1), Romancier (33/1), L'insurge (80/1), Reliance Kid (100/1), Swashbuckler (150/1)

JAMADA impressed when getting off the mark in a bumper at Naas, travelling well throughout and showing a good turn of foot in the closing stages. He's since transferred to a leading stable and this looks a good opening. Jolie Coeur Allen has been expensive to follow but she can be competitive again.
