Lord Condi⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Coleman| T: M Keighley

11/8

Yard in form (3-6 of late) and this Papal Bull gelding stayed on well to score by half a length at Fontwell in May. Penalised, but has decent prospects of following up under same rider.

Form: 89-1

Blue Merlin²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

12/1

Fair Mix gelding, half-brother to a winning two-mile hurdler. In touch until faded from 2f out on debut in Southwell bumper. More needed but should progress from that first effort.

Form: 8-

Great Fairy²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

11/2

Three modest efforts in point-to points and makes Rules debut here having changed hands for £9,500 last month. Yard having a quiet spell and others make more appeal.

Templepark⁴⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case

2/1

Phoenix Reach gelding won Irish maiden point-to-point in March and joined new connections for a healthy 75,000. Related to good chaser Young Kenny on dam's side and is an interesting recruit who could go well.

Form: 31/

Avarchie^h1²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: J Butler

9/1

Ran once for both Giles Bravery and Michael Wigham wihtout showing much and debuts for new yard wearing first time hood. Champion jockey on board is interesting but on evidence to date has it to do.

Forecasts

Lord Condi (11/8), Templepark (2/1), Big 'n Better (7/2), Laughing Luis (7/2), Great Fairy (11/2), Avarchie (9/1), Blue Merlin (12/1)

In receipt of 7lb from Lord Condi, winning Irish point-to-pointer TEMPLEPARK is taken to make a winning British debut having cost connections a pretty penny. He may be decent. Lord Condi won't go down without a fight have shown plenty of mettle in scoring at Fontwell, and Big 'n Better hinted he could win a race or two with a solid debut effort at Ffos Los. Although he has something to find on form, the presence of the champion jockey on Avarchie has not gone unnoticed.
