Blueberg

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

40/1

£50,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Bishop's Bridge. Well worth considering for top local yard.

Form:

Chavez

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

7/2

Yeats gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Horizontal Speed. Yard have had a handful of winning newcomers in this sphere in the last month and he's unmistakably a big player.

Form:

Deep Inferno³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: Ella Pickard

100/1

€15,000 half-brother to modest 3m hurdler Skylanna Breeze. Not unbacked ahead of Fontwell debut after a wind op last month but offered little.

Form: 7

Floy Joy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard

12/1

12/1, probably needed the run on debut at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago, making good progress 2f out before flattening out. Will improve.

Form: 5

Joe Haze

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: P C Dando

100/1

Fight Club gelding. Dam maiden hurdler, half-sister to smart hurdler (2m-2¾m winner) Bella Haze and fairly useful hurdler (stays 3m) Driftwood Haze.

Form:

King Ferdinand

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey

9/2

€72,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Canelo and unreliable but fair hurdler/chaser Debt To Society. Dam unraced. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Slip Road⁵⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: S Thomas

2/1

Point winner who cost €95,000 at 3 yrs and shaped well enough in listed Limerick bumper in March 2019. Not seen since but new yard are in form.

Form: 14/

Theme Tune³⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

10/3

€115,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Shaped much better than the result when sixth of 18 at Warwick on debut in January and is a likely improver.

Form: 6-

The Mighty Arc^t1²⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon

33/1

Placed on second start in Irish points last time (Feb 23). From a good NH family. Tongue tied now switched to bumpers.

Forecasts

Slip Road (2/1), Theme Tune (10/3), Chavez (7/2), Firestep (4/1), King Ferdinand (9/2), Floy Joy (12/1), Auba Me Yang (18/1), The Mighty Arc (33/1), Blueberg (40/1), Deep Inferno (100/1), Joe Haze (100/1)

This can go to one of the handful of interesting newcomers, with CHAVEZ just preferred to Nicky Henderson's Firestep. Theme Tune shaped well on debut at Warwick back in January and should improve. Floy Joy could also do plenty better.
