Mahler mare. Dam, of little account, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3½m) Ballyegan Hero. Winning Irish pointer who finished last of 7 finishers last time (Mar 2025) and she's passed over on Rules debut unless market vibes indicate otherwise.
|
Point scorer (off mark at fourth attempt) who made a sound start when fourth on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in July. Improved following wind surgery/fitted with a tongue strap when readily off the mark in a 5-runner bumper here (16.8f) 25 days ago and well worth considering now hurdling.
|
Authorized mare who confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Market Rasen bumper (16.6f) back in February. Found Grade 2 company too much at Aintree when last seen in April but she's an interesting hurdles newcomer for a yard very much amongst the winners.
|
Second on sole start between the flags and fairly useful form when placed first 3 starts in bumpers last term (including at listed level. Well-beaten in Aintree Grade 2 final outing but very much bred to have a future in this sphere and she's another to note returning from 7 months off.
|
Order of St George mare. Dam ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart staying chaser (placed in Grand National) Double Seven. Successful on first of 2 starts in Irish points, pulled up last time (May 2025). Worth a market check on Rules debut but likely to need more time/distance.
|
€25,000 3-y-o, £70,000 4-y-o, Gentlewave filly. Dam, fair 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (winner up to 23f) Movewiththetimes. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 2025) and interesting if there's confidence behind her in the betting.
|
£35,000 4-y-o, Feel Like Dancing filly. Half-sister to Dynamite Dan. Dam unraced. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Mar 2025) and the betting can point the way on Rules/hurdles bow.
|
Dartmouth filly who produced a promising first effort amidst greenness when second of 9 in bumper at this track in December, keeping on after shuffled back home turn. Possibly unsuited by firmer conditions when mid-field at Catterick the following month and now sent hurdling.
|
Didn't offer much in a trio of bumper starts for Harry Derham and similar story on the Flat upon joining James Owen this summer. Did show aptitude tried hurdling when runner-up in a Warwick maiden (21f) 6 weeks back but surprise where she not vulnerable again to a few of the hurdles debutantes here.

Forecasts
La Zoubida (13/8), Roses All The Way (85/40), Blue Topaz (10/3), Girl Of Gold (10/1), A Chara (16/1), Beep Beep Becky (25/1), A Pleasant Suprise (40/1), Tantivy Vavoom (50/1), Dilly's Gunner (66/1)
BLUE TOPAZ showed improved form on the back of wind surgery/fitting of a tongue strap when readily off the mark in a course bumper 6 weeks ago and she's narrowly selected to continue the good work now hurdling under James Bowen. Fellow hurdles newcomers La Zoubida and Roses All The Way both showed plenty themselves in bumpers and also command a second look. A Chara, successful in points at the second also requires a market check.
- Blue Topaz10/3
