Luck's Boy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

14/1

First foal. Dam related to a few winners (over 2m4f-3m) and yard get plenty of bumper winners here (21% strike rate) so looks one of the more likely ones on paper.

Form:

Rgb The Architect^t⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: F O'Brien

25/1

Nicely bred but has shown little in two starts to date. No better for wind surgery last time out and despite yard going better now, is hard to fancy.

Form: P-7

Storm Fire

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

66/1

Breeding suggests we won't see the best of her until going over much more of a trip, and yard not known for bumper winners either.

Form:

Flic Ou Voyou

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls

13/8

125,000 Euro purchase at Goffs sales last summer. Nicely bred and rare bumper runner for the yard here (0-2 last five years). Represents top yard and has to be one of the more likely ones.

Form:

Itchy Feet

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

10/3

Bred to have a bit more speed than a few here and yard can get bumper winners. Good jockey booking and market will give best clue as to what's expected.

Form:

Just Jeremy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

10/1

Half-brother to a winning pointer and dam related to a few chase winners as well, so likely to need a bit of time, but yard do well in bumpers here and a bit of support in the market would make him interesting.

Form:

Kalinihta

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: Noel Williams

12/1

Cheap purchase and although there's some speed in the breeding, might find even this too much of a trip. In good hands though, so requires a market check if nothing else.

Form:

Master Thinker

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: T J O'Brien| T: G T Hourigan

6/1

Irish raider (yard 0-6 in bumpers in Ireland last five years). Plenty of Flat speed in the pedigree and should find this a suitable test for his debut. Good jockey booking and again, watch the market for a clue.

Form:

Shut The Box

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

13/2

Pedigree suggests he'll want a lot further (and some fences) before we see the best of him, but yard get the odd decent bumper performer and he needs a glance in the market today.

Form:

Musical Stardust¹⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: David Bass| T: S Thomas

33/1

Seemed to know her job on debut at Lingfield but was well beaten at the finish and in a hot little contest here, would need to improve plenty.

Form: 6

Call Sign Charlie

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: T E Whelan| T: B Barr

50/1

Yard not known for winners in this sphere and she makes only limited appeal on breeding. Others preferred.

Form:

Pharaway View

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: T J Phelan| T: D G Bridgwater

50/1

Half-sister to the useful bumper winner Nelson's Bridge, and some speed in the breeding. Yard have only had a couple of bumper winners in the past five years though, so best watched here.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Flic Ou Voyou (13/8), Itchy Feet (10/3), Master Thinker (6/1), Shut The Box (13/2), Melchior King (7/1), Regarding Ruth (8/1), Just Jeremy (10/1), Kalinihta (12/1), Luck's Boy (14/1), Rgb The Architect (25/1), Musical Stardust (33/1), Pharaway View (50/1), Call Sign Charlie (50/1), Storm Fire (66/1)

Plenty of unraced ones in here and the market should prove an invaluable guide as to the chance of them. FLIC OU VOYOU represents powerful connections and could be good enough at the first time of asking. The Gary Moore pair of Just Jeremy and Luck's Boy both ahve to be given respect given the trainer's record here, and along with Itchy Feet and Master Thinker make plenty of appeal.
