Tilney For Professionals Standard Open NH Flat Race (Div 2)

Off time: 17:57 | Winning time: 3m 46.35s

Dundrum Wood¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

5/6

Irish point-to-point winner in November and sold at Cheltenham Sales for €270,000 the month after, so someone liked what they saw. Bred to make a good chaser in time but clearly of interest for yard with 26% strike rate in bumpers.

Form: 31

O Connell Street⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| BF

5/2

€125,000 purchase as a 3yo, bred in the purple (half-bother to 5 winners including Ballymore winner City Island) and made satisfactory debut when second at Market Rasen last month despite obvious greenness. Of interest here.

Form: 2

For Luck

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

12/1

Half-brother to a few winners in France, should make a nice chaser on breeding given time, but yard not firing the winners in at present and on that, is best watched here.

Form:

Kemble's Cascade

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

7/2

€12,500 purchase as a foal, good pedigree (half-brother to a few useful chase winners) and yard get plenty of winners in this sphere. Worth a look in the market.

Form:

Stoner's Choice²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case

12/1

Almost made a winning debut at Market Rasen when a neck second to Stormin Norman but that's not strong form and although improvement may be forthcoming, others make more appeal.

Form: 2

Kandula²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal

80/1

Tailed off at big prices on both starts to date and makes next to no appeal here. Others readily preferred.

Form: 07

Secret Beri^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Summers

150/1

Tailed off on debut at Stratford last month, hood now added but yard are 0-4 in bumpers last five years and that's unlikely to change after today.

Form: 0

Sheeza Legend^t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Mrs E Bishop

50/1

Better effort when third of four at Market Rasen last time out but it's weak form and she's likely to find this an uphill battle.

Form: 63

Forecasts

Dundrum Wood (5/6), O Connell Street (5/2), Kemble's Cascade (7/2), Dromineer (8/1), Stoner's Choice (12/1), For Luck (12/1), Sheeza Legend (50/1), Kandula (80/1), Secret Beri (150/1)

This could lie between the two expensive purchases Dundrum Wood and O CONNELL STREET and with the benefit of his Market Rasen experience the latter just gets the vote. Both should do well in time, though, and it will be interesting to see how they get on today. Dromineer would be of some interest if he take his chance here rather than at Taunton last night.
