Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
12/1
Point-to-point winner in March, purchased for £45,000 in April. Trip may be on the sharp side but yard going well and very interesting on Rules debut. One to note in the betting.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Maxime Tissier(5)| T: L Wadham| D
1/1
Showed a consistent level of form in first four bumper starts for David Elsworth before struggling in Grade 2 company at Aintree. Makes stable and hurdling debut and a likely leading contender.
3
Horse silk
66/1
Pulled up in a point-to-point in December and readily beaten in a recent Fontwell bumper. Likely she is best watched on hurdling debut.

100/1
Showed some promise as a juvenile but has been on a downward spiral since. Has been absent more than two years and there is little to recommend her on stable debut.

4/1
Nice progressive profile in four bumper starts culminating in a Ludlow win in April. With a strong stable and only likely to improve on hurdling debut. Rates a leading contender.
6
Horse silk
50/1
Left first two poor runs well behind when winning a May bumper at Wincanton. That level of form would still need improving on significantly on hurdling debut.

10/3
Won maiden and minor event on last two Flat starts for Ludovic Gadbin in France and raced to a consistent level in three starts over hurdles last year. Has had wind surgery ahead of this reappearance and likely to go close.

25/1
Daughter of Black Sam Bellamy made good late headway, keeping on well when hampered late on at Warwick on debut and then an early faller at Fontwell. Could still have more to offer and one to note.

Zoutoise124
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| BF
14/1
Made a winning start in a bumper at Wetherby in January but was never a factor under a penalty in a similar race at the same course a month later. She's a half-sister to 7 winners though and has a good jumps pedigree. Another to bear in mind.

Forecasts

Miss Heritage (1/1), Nordican Bleue (10/3), Bergamot (4/1), Bannixtown Glory (12/1), Zoutoise (14/1), Sitron (25/1), Mergeela (50/1), Saintbury Lady (66/1), Unzipped (100/1)

Verdict

MISS HERITAGE proved a likeable sort in bumpers, was well tried at Aintree and a likely type now over hurdles. Bergamot also impressed in bumpers and boasts a progressive profile. Nordican Bleue and Zoutoise are others to note.
  1. Miss Heritage
  2. Bergamot
  3. Nordican Bleue
