Duffle Coat²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

1/6

Highly promising type who (16/1) impressively landed 13-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 25 days ago. Has plenty of scope to improve so rates a big player.

Form: 1

Little Brother¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: J Nash| D

17/2

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 7/1, fair fifth of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 13 days ago. Lots to find here though.

Made In Pimlico^p,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B W Duke

50/1

Poor maiden on Flat. 125/1 and cheekpieces on, better effort over hurdles when fourth of 8 in juvenile at Listowel (16f, good) 13 days ago. Big step forward needed.

Form: P4

Meknas

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: D Hogan

16/1

7,000 gns 3-y-o, Gleneagles colt. Closely related to French 9.5f winner Rosehill. Dam unraced. Set a tough introduction here so others appeal lot more.

Forecasts

Duffle Coat (1/6), Quilixios (4/5), Little Brother (17/2), Waterville Lady (14/1), Meknas (16/1), Made In Pimlico (50/1), Londonofficecallin (66/1)

QUILIXIOS looks a very promising French recruit for Gordon Elliott so is taken to add to his impressive debut win at Compiegne at the chief expense of stablemate Duffle Coat who also appeals as a young hurder of some potential after his Punchestown debut victory. Little Brother has lots to find with the Elliott-trained duo but rates the pick of the rest.
