Samarquand^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

3/1

Bumper win, then maintained unbeaten record when landing the odds on hurdling debut at Ludlow. The runner up has franked the form and certainly should be more to come.

Form: 1-1

Getaway Trump¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

11/2

Won in good style at Plumpton last month and although that was on good ground, he won a Point-to-point in the mud last year. Looked a good prospect on latest and could be above average.

Form: 4/146-41

Remastered²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

1/1

Beat a smart sort in a Bumper in February and won despite being keen on hurdling debut at Ffos Las. Handles soft ground and looks s decent prospect.

Form: 26/21-1

Apple Mack¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: R Mitford-Slade

66/1

No form in a Bumper (when backed at big odds) and a hurdle and impossible to fancy on the evidence to date.

Form: F-70

Apres Le Deluge³⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: H Morrison

14/1

Was impressive when taking a soft ground Bumper at Hereford a year ago but a concern that he has not been since and that form hasn't worked out.

Form: 1-

Champagne Ideas²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: C J Down

250/1

No ability in a pair of hurdles and will be of more interest when going handicapping after this.

Form: 48/63-40

Champions Club³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

150/1

Well beaten in a good ground novice on debut last month and needs to take a big step forward in a short space of time.

Form: 7

Come On Teddy²⁸⁷

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

10/1

Highly promising debut in a Bumper here in February when splitting a pair who have franked the form. Now switched yards and goes hurdling against promising types but interesting contender.

Form: 2-

Comeonthebull²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens

150/1

Similar level of modest form in bumper's and a hurdle and has been withdrawn before when the ground turned soft.

Form: 6253

Granitic²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins

66/1

Won a small field fast ground Bumper at Towcester in May on only racecourse appearance. Entitled to improve now going hurdling but takes on some potentially smart types here.

Form: 1

Hey Bud²⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

25/1

Showed ability in a pair of bumper's last winter. Now goes over hurdles and in at the deep end today.

Form: 24-

Musical Slave³⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B J Geraghty| T: P Hobbs & J White

33/1

Promise in Irish Bumper but jumped moderately on hurdling debut and off the track for over a yea since. Withdrawn on fast ground at Doncaster last week.

Form: 6/6-

Tea Time On Mars¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

150/1

Poor form in a pair of bumper's and hurdles and probably more of a long term prospect. Hard to fancy.

Form: 40-7P

Tedham³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

Has shown ability in a Bumper and a pair of novice hurdles all on Good to soft ground. Needs this for a handicap mark and that's where his future probably lies.

Form: 3-43

France Du Lukka²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis

250/1

No ability in 2 bumper's and a novice hurdle and easy to look elsewhere in this competitive looking heat.

Form: 869-

Midnight Tipple²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

150/1

Pulled up in both Point-to-point runs and impossible to fancy on the evidence of those now she goes over timber.

Form: P-P

Sea Present³¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis

250/1

Failed to complete in a pair of Point-to-points last winter and hard to make a case for on her rules debut.

Form: FP-

Forecasts

Remastered (1/1), Samarquand (3/1), Getaway Trump (11/2), Come On Teddy (10/1), Tedham (12/1), Apres Le Deluge (14/1), Hey Bud (25/1), Musical Slave (33/1), Dessie's Diamond (33/1), Granitic (66/1), Apple Mack (66/1), Tea Time On Mars (150/1), Champions Club (150/1), Comeonthebull (150/1), Midnight Tipple (150/1), Champagne Ideas (250/1), Sea Present (250/1), France Du Lukka (250/1)

Some potentially decent types on display and GETAWAY TRUMP made a big impression at Plumpton last month and can follow up. Remastered has relished soft ground to date and rates the principal danger with Samarquand looking best of the rest.
