Point/bumper winner who made a highly promising start over hurdles (on the back of wind surgery) when landing 8-runner novice at Newton Abbot (21.5f, soft) 37 days ago, despite late errors. That form is working out well so big shout with plenty more to come.
|
Placed in both points but ran to only a modest level when fifth of 10 in bumper at Worcester in June 2024. Not seen since and a watching brief is advised now hurdling.
|
€22,000 Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Destiny's Gold. The betting should help guide to expectations on debut.
|
33/1, remote fourth of 5 in Fontwell bumper on debut in May.
|
Fourth on Newton Abbott bumper debut in June but the form is only modest and he was well beaten at Chepstow 5 months later. Outsider now hurdling.
|
Made frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 2025) but more one for the longer term under Rules judged on last month's Aintree bumper debut. Has a hood added now hurdling.
|
Shaped well when third of 7 in Fos Las bumper on debut in November 2024 but well held in a stronger race at Cheltenham 11 months later. Hurdle debut.
|
66/1, made an inauspicious start to his career when swerving and unseating second in Fontwell novice hurdle last month. Hooded first time.
|
Second in bumper debut in March but comfortably held in another bumper and a novice hurdle since. Still early days but might be more one for handicaps down the line.
|
Useful in bumpers last season. Disappointing start to his hurdle career at Chepstow in October but he should be capable of better.
|
Point winner who was placed in a Newbury bumper and shaped well on his hurdle debut at the same course 4 weeks ago, weakening run-in as if the outing may have just been needed. Likely improver.
|
100/30 seemingly needed the experience when seventh of 9 in Fontwell bumper on debut 6 weeks ago. Potential improver now hurdling for Harry Fry.
|
22/1, struggling a long way out when remote sixth of 7 in 19.5f Chepstow maiden hurdle on debut 14 days ago.
|
Reached the frame in both bumpers last season and showed promise again when third of 8 in Fontwell novice hurdle on reappearance 19 days ago. In excellent hands and should have more to offer.
|
Decent bumper performer last season, including a win at Wincanton. 9/1 and tongue tied, shaped better than remote sixth suggests on Chepstow hurdle debut/reappearance last month, weakening having still been a clear third 3 out. Had wind surgery since. Potential improver.
|
33/1, well-held sixth in Hereford bumper on debut in February. Likely outsider now hurdling on return.

Forecasts
Gentleman Toboot (7/4), Klub De Reve (9/4), Kilwaughter (3/1), Tennessee Tango (9/2), Phineas Bunce (15/2), Collanisi (33/1), Montrachet Fin (66/1), Jaffa Cake (80/1), Air Apparent (100/1), Ahanaglogh (100/1), Dragons And Demons (200/1), Can U Feel It (200/1), Pacman (250/1), Arnie Moon (300/1), Anothermanicmonday (300/1), Deauville Lady (300/1)
GENTLEMAN TOBOOT saw off a useful prospect from the Skelton yard when making a successful start to his hurdle career at Newton Abbot in October and looks up to defying a penalty. There was plenty to like about Klub de Reve's opening hurdle effort at Newbury and he's second choice ahead of Dan Skelton's Phineas Bunce.
- Klub De Reve9/4
- Phineas Bunce15/2
