Delirious Love

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

10/1

Definite Article gelding who fetched €67,000 as a three-year-old and is a half-brother to bumper winner What A Lark. Price tag and breeding suggests he is one to consider on his racecourse debut.

Form:

Hay James

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Aiden Blakemore⁽⁷⁾| T: S A Harris

200/1

Son of Proclamation whose dam was a winning stayer on the Flat. Nice enough pedigree, but is likely to need the experience on debut.

Form:

Imperial Elixir³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| BF

18/1

Cost €22,000 as a three-year-old and is half-brother to a point-to-point winner. Favourite when only sixth of eight on debut in a Sedgefield bumper and needs to show more for his in-form stable.

Form: 6

Into The Breach

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Steven Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ewart

40/1

Gelding by Al Namix out of a Kahyasi mare. Market should be the best guide to his prospects on debut for a yard which also runs Costard Watt.

Form:

Invisible Clouds

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

13/2

Cloudings gelding who cost €20,000 as a three-year-old and is from a family which contains winning hurdlers. Stable is strong in this sphere, so he is very much one to note on debut.

Form:

Kingsplace³⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Humphries⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

12/1

Irish import who displayed signs of ability in a couple of point-to-points. First run for a stable going great guns and certainly warrants a check in the market.

Form: 26-

Many Tales¹⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: J Mackie

66/1

Multiplex gelding from the family of top-class middle-distance performer Petoski. Ran respectably when fifth of 10 on debut in a Uttoxeter bumper and should improve.

Form: 5

Net De Treve²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr N George⁽⁷⁾| T: T R George

6/1

Network gelding from a fine jumps family, he cost €100,000 after finishing runner-up in his only Irish point-to-point. Stable can ready one for a bumper so he is one to keep a close eye on.

Form: 2-

Oscars Leader¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss J S Davis

50/1

Son of Oscar who fetched £17,000 earlier this year and is from a successful jumps family. Fourth of 11 in an Irish point-to-point in May and is one to note on his first start in a bumper for new connections.

Form: 4

Sangha River²⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J J Codd| T: O Murphy

10/11

Son of Arcadio who cost €60,000 as a three-year-old and is related to winners in bumpers and over hurdles. Showed promise before unseating his rider in his only point-to-point in Ireland and has a top jockey booked for his debut under Rules.

Form: U-

That's Life

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R D Day⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards

10/1

Son of Presenting who was bought for €45,000 as a three-year-old and is a brother to four winners over jumps. Respected stable can get winners in this disciple, so he is another work a check in the betting.

Form:

Forecasts

Sangha River (10/11), Net De Treve (6/1), Costard Watt (6/1), Invisible Clouds (13/2), That's Life (10/1), Delirious Love (10/1), Kingsplace (12/1), Imperial Elixir (18/1), St George's Oval (20/1), Into The Breach (40/1), Oscars Leader (50/1), Many Tales (66/1), Hay James (200/1)

Plenty of guesswork involved so the betting market may be the best guide to the prospects of most of the runners. Net De Treve is interesting given his purchase price and breeding, but a chance is taken on SANGHA RIVER, who was running well on his point-to-point debut before unseating his rider and has a top Irish amateur jockey booked for his first run in a bumper. Invisible Clouds and Kingsplace represent successful stables and have to be respected, while others to note are That's Life, Oscars Leader and Delerious Love.
