C'Est Le Bonheur^h1³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland

17/2

Irish point/bumper winner who ran to fair level on his completed start over hurdles at Kelso (20.9f) last month. Hood on for 1st time and more needed for win purposes.

Form: 311/F3

Felton Bellevue²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case

20/1

Fair in bumpers but ran below that level when a well-held third on Hereford hurdle debut (19.7f, soft) 7 months ago, plugging on latter stages.

Form: P/2403-

Filou Des Issards^b1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117

33/1

Fair chance on his placed efforts in the Taunton mud at the turn of the year, but has been most disappointing both starts this season. Blinkers need to have a positive effect.

Form: 8932-0P

Le Tueur²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

40/1

Winning pointer from a successful jumps family who looked likely to finish closer to the winner for much of the way on Plumpton hurdle debut in March. Should improve.

Form: 3/4712-

My Way^t²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 122

2/5

Ex French. Probably would have won but for falling heavily at the last at Plumpton on return last season. Held his form well in better company afterwards and leading claims now returning to hurdling.

Form: 8/F4266-

Now Is The Winter^p1²⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling| C

18/1

Couse bumper winner but offered little pulled up on Ludlow hurdle debut in January. Wears first-time cheekpieces on this return to action.

Form: 21/P-

Peachey^t⁶⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy

7/1

€50,000 Robin Des Champs gelding who showed clear promise in a bumper/Huntingdon maiden hurdle in 2018. Off since but good chance he'll have more to offer over this longer trip.

Form: 54/

The Quiet Don

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham

14/1

€34,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Getabuzz. Dam 1m/8.2f winner.

Form:

Tikanite^t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: S Lycett

40/1

Fair form in a trio of bumpers in 2016/17. Shaped as if retaining some ability in a first-time tongue tie on Uttoxeter hurdle debut last month but he'll be of more interest in handicaps in due course.

Form: 663/4

Marie's Girl^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans

250/1

No form in bumpers and made an inauspicious debut over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces when swerving and unseating her rider at the second at Uttoxeter 45 days ago.

Form: 5-0U

Potters Vision²⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle

28/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling after 13 months off at Wincanton on yard debut in January. Looks one for later on.

Form: 256/7-

Forecasts

My Way (2/5), Peachey (7/1), C'Est Le Bonheur (17/2), The Quiet Don (14/1), Now Is The Winter (18/1), Felton Bellevue (20/1), Potters Vision (28/1), Filou Des Issards (33/1), Felicissimus (33/1), Le Tueur (40/1), Tikanite (40/1), Marie's Girl (250/1)

MY WAY held his form well in good company over fences last term and looks to have been found a decent opening on this return to hurdling. Peachy hasn't been seen for nearly 2 years but is in excellent hands and ought to be well suited by this longer trip. C'est Le Bonheur can prove best of the rest.
