Khrismah25
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR:  127| D
Dual bumper winner in France and shaped well when placed in a pair of novice hurdles for new connections earlier in the year. Took full advantage of a simple task (sent off 1/25) on Uttoxeter return 25 days ago. More to come.

Promising second on Warwick bumper debut in November 2024 but struggled in 2 subsequent bumpers and pulled up on Wincanton hurdle debut/reappearance 18 days ago.
|
Timeform
Runner-up in an Irish point in the spring but well-held sixth in 2 hurdles in recent weeks. Looks more one for handicaps after this.

Ever Ready15
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews(3)| T: Mrs P Sly| OR:  95
Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles. Showed ability remains back from over 2 years off when fifth over C&D 15 days ago but would be better off in handicaps.

Irish point winner in February. Weakening in third when falling heavily last in 2¾m Stratford maiden on hurdle debut in October. Top yard drops her markedly in trip now with a tongue tie also added.

Timeform
Jack Hobbs filly who hasn't shown enough in 2 bumper starts to think she's likely to make a successful start to her hurdle career here.

Horse silk
Promising second on first of 2 bumper starts in Ireland earlier in the year and made an encouraging start to her hurdle career for Harry Derham when 7 lengths third at Warwick (19f, good to soft) last month. Likely improver.

Kittys Glance37
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King
Shaped well when third in a course bumper in March. Unable to make a significant impact in a Cheltenham listed bumper on her reappearance but remains a decent prospect for novice hurdles.
|
Timeform
Runner-up sole start in Irish points but well beaten in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months.

Horse silk
Pulled up sole start in points and only modest form when placed in bumpers. Ran to a similar level when third of 6 in Ludlow novice claimer on hurdle debut but this demands a fair bit more.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| BF
Third in 2 bumpers in spring 2024 but absent for 19 months ahead of this switch to hurdles.
|
Timeform
Fourth on bumper debut last December. Confirmed she has ability when fifth in Uttoxeter novice hurdle nearly a year later and today's first-time hood might help her to settle better.
|
Timeform
33/1, well held in a Warwick bumper on debut 32 days ago. Likely outsider now hurdling.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| D
Half-sister to a couple of useful jumpers and made third bumper start a winning one fitted with a hood at Uttoxeter in October. Excellent second in a listed race at Cheltenham so has to be taken very seriously now tackling obstacles.

Watamu23
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle| D
Bumper winner for Pat Murphy in October 2024 who shaped encouragingly sent hurdling after a year off when fourth of 13 over 2m at Newbury in November. Found out in listed company there 3 weeks later but retains potential with her sights lowered now.

Khrisma (13/8), Shotgun Shirley (4/1), Watamu (7/1), Kittys Glance (10/1), Jem's Lilly (10/1), First Candidate (12/1), Ever Ready (14/1), Moorsbrook (16/1), Miracles Do Happen (20/1), Hey Flint (20/1), Neeps And Tatties (20/1), Annie Hathaway (33/1), Beep Beep Becky (66/1), Mild Magic (66/1), Rose Of The Shires (100/1)

WATAMU found a listed novice too much to handle last time but her hurdle debut prior to that was promising and she might be worth another chance back in calmer waters. Lucy Wadham's decent bumper performer Shotgun Shirley is feared most ahead of Khrisma and Jem's Lilly.
