Went backwards from promising NH debut at Uttoxeter in May and offered little on hurdles debut at Warwick last month.
|
Bumper winner who left his hurdles debut form behind when excellent third of 14 in novice at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 30 days ago. May have more to offer yet.
|
Cityscape gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Old Town Garde. Market likely best guide to claims on NH debut.
|
Well held in 4 contests on Flat in 2024 and showed nothing on first start over timber at Fontwell in October.
|
Promising individual who found some improvement when creditable sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. One of likelier contenders.
|
Best effort on level for Karl Burke at Doncaster in July but proved disappointing under both codes for new connections.
|
Made winning start in bumpers for Milton Harris in October 2023. Not seen since, however, and needs monitoring in market on hurdles bow for new yard here.
|
Made the frame in Fontwell bumper in May but finished well held on hurdles debut at same course last month.
|
Promising individual who posted good third on Chepstow bumper debut in October. Below that level when sixth of 13 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 11/2) on hurdles bow 22 days ago but likely has more to offer in this sphere yet.
|
Made the frame on last 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't troubled the judge in a couple of starts over timber. Likely one for handicaps down the line.
|
Some encouragement in a bumper/novice hurdle but is another who is likely to need more time and a longer trip.
|
Useful in bumpers, winning at Wincanton before fourth in Listed/Grade 2 events. Looked booked for a place when falling at last on Chepstow hurdle debut last month and remains with potential.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat. Disappointed at Newbury when last seen in October but warrants respect on first crack at this discipline.
|
Showed some ability in bumpers but was a beaten a long way on hurdles debut at Kempton last month.
|
Well held in 2 bumpers and both novice hurdles. Will be seen in better light when sent handicapping.
|
No show in bumpers and can only be watched on hurdles debut.
|
Frontiersman filly. Dam 21f/3¼m hurdle/chase winner. Likely one for the longer term.
|
Finished last home in both bumper outings for Mike Hawker and is hard to recommend on hurdles bow for new yard after another absence.

Forecasts
Swingin Safari (8/11), Bespoke Tailor (6/4), Constellation Walk (11/1), No Panic (20/1), Trapper John (25/1), Lake Tiberias (25/1), Giddyupadingdong (28/1), Largy Panic (66/1), Urban Isle (80/1), Hard Stare (80/1), Famous Shoes (100/1), Ask A Sainte (125/1), Man Maid (125/1), Walk In The West (125/1), Blazing Gaden (125/1), Grey Aquila (150/1), Mistress Fox (150/1), Capital Love (150/1)
Preference is for SWINGIN SAFARI, who boasted useful bumper form and should have learnt plenty from his Chepstow hurdles debut last month. Bespoke Tailor and Constellation Walk are feared most.
