Twominutes Turkish^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| D

5/4

Looked useful when easily justifying market support in 2m Fakenham maiden on hurdle debut/reappearance 3 weeks ago. Looks capable of defying a penalty.

Form: 56-1

Cadzand²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

1/1

Well-bred point winner who was placed in a couple of bumpers last season (here latterly). Promise when second on 2m Ayr hurdle debut (heavy) 23 days ago and should improve with that behind him.

Form: 1/32-2

Dothraki Prince⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

66/1

Third in all 3 bumpers for Chris Grant. Looked set to finish placed again when falling 2 out on Taunton hurdle debut a year ago but never involved when sixth on Chepstow reappearance.

Form: 33/3F-6

Guy De Guye

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: C L TizzardWS

17/2

Tiger Groom half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful chaser Prophete de Guye and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Salornay de Guye. Interesting debutant. Has had wind surgery.

Form:

Harrowby²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

50/1

Raced too freely when beaten upwards of 19 lengths in 2 bumpers 10 months apart so will need to settle better now hurdling.

Form: 0-6

Only Money³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: C Gordon

14/1

Free-going sort who won a Fontwell bumper in early 2019. Has shaped better than the result on both outings over hurdles but Twominutes Turkish looks the stable first string here.

Form: 461/485

Regaby²⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams

150/1

28/1, down the field in a Doncaster bumper in February. Could only consider if the betting hints than much better is expected now hurdling on return.

Form: 0-

Salley Gardens¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

80/1

In good hands when but beaten a long way when fifth in Exeter bumper and third of 4 in Wincanton novice hurdle this autumn.

Form: 53

Spanish Jump³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: J & A O'NeillWS

33/1

6/1, may have needed the run when 31 lengths fifth of 11 in Carlisle novice hurdle 34 days ago. Likely to do better but big step up required to get heavily involved. Has had wind surgery.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Cadzand (1/1), Twominutes Turkish (5/4), Kanukankan (7/2), Guy De Guye (17/2), Only Money (14/1), Spanish Jump (33/1), Harrowby (50/1), Dothraki Prince (66/1), Salley Gardens (80/1), Regaby (150/1)

TWOMINUTES TURKISH was impressive at Fakenham last month and is selected to make light of a penalty, perhaps at the expense of Kanukankan who looked set for second at worst when departing 2 out on his Exeter debut. Cadzand should step up on his Ayr form and can also play a part, while a market move for Guy de Guye would bring him into the reckoning.
