C&D winner who won a steadily run affair on his debut holding on to win by 1L (form looks weak). Ran well enough under a penalty on his only subsequent start and still has to overcome that impost here.
Yard always need to be respected in this sphere (had some useful types) and this will be his be his bumper debut after winning a point-to-point last time by 6L. Likely to be well fancied in the market and worth noting any moves for him.
Half-brother to three winners including the useful hurdler/chaser Shotovodka. Yard have been in good form of late and have a reasonable strike-rate in this arena over the past five years.
Started at a short price on his debut at Southwell (2m, heavy) but did nothing to justify that price being one of the first to be beaten. Possible to expect more on his second run but hard to know what to expect.
Bred to be useful over jumps and both his starts have shown promise although he may need further to be seen at his best looking at his pedigree. This stiff course will suit him better but likely to be seen to better effect hurdling over 2m4f.
Cost €105,000 as a three-year-old and shaped well on his debut (form looking strong) when finishing second and filled the same position on his last run. Looks as though he'll need a test like this and more to be seen at his best; more to come.
€60,000 three-year-old and a half-brother to three winners he makes his debut here with the champion jockey booked. Yard have had bumper winners but are not prolific in this sphere; market may give some clues.
Supported on her debut in an AW bumper she was easily brushed aside and failed to even match that poor form when switched to turf at Warwick. Hard to make a case for her here after those two runs.
Very cheap purchase (€4,200) given her pedigree and was never on terms on her debut finishing last (beaten 22L) having started 66/1.
Started at a big price on her sole outing so far and very much gave the impression that she would need the outing and the experience. One for the longer term.
Sister to a fair hurdler/useful chaser Return Flight with the dam having some decent relations also. Interesting pedigree but only from a small yard and market would need to indicate a positive performance was expected.
Forecasts
Shaughnessy (5/2), Ask Dillon (5/2), Mill Green (7/2), Pleney (15/2), Budding Robin (12/1), Hero's Creek (12/1), Raving Bonkers (20/1), Porthledden Flight (20/1), Hartshorne Abbie (50/1), Flying Feathers (50/1), El Deguello (66/1)
A fair mixture of types in this with the best form so far being shown by Shaughnessy although he has given the impression that he’ll need further to be seen at his best. Mill Green is another whose form suggests that he’ll be seen to better effect over further and the newcomer ASK DILLON is given the vote having already shown that he has ability by winning a point-to-point and coming from a yard that are well known in this sphere. Pleney is another newcomer who should be respected and he wasn’t a cheap purchase while better can be expected from Hero’s Creek on his second start.
- Ask Dillon
- Shaughnessy
