Bob Backus

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball

9/1

€35,000 3-y-o, resold £75,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Boro Tari. Dam (h98) maiden hurdler out of 2m-2¼m hurdle winner Boro Bow. Market for clues.

Form:

Dock Road³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: B Pauling

3/1

£26,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Shaped with plenty of promise when second of 6 in a C&D novice on debut 36 days ago, even if he was flattered by his proximity to the winner. Sure to progress.

Form: 2

Karl Philippe⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| D

15/8

Won heavy-ground bumpers at Hereford and Carlisle 11 months apart. The bare form of those nothing special, but he still commands plenty of respect now going hurdling for his in-form stable.

Form: 1-1

Mayne^h1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: J & A O'Neill

28/1

Fairly useful on Flat, runner-up twice from 3 starts, but just modest form completed start over hurdles. Hood on for the 1st time.

Form: 46P

Mr Scaff¹¹⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson

250/1

Modest maiden on Flat and down the field in a juvenile hurdle 3 years ago. Not seen since.

Form: 8/

Red Lion Lad²⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

13/8

Out of a winning sister to Master Minded and made a successful start to his career in an Irish point last March. Interesting runner, particularly if market vibes strong.

Form: 1-

Sixty Dollars More²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard

25/1

In good hands but ran to just a poor level in an Ascot bumper on debut last month, left behind over 4f out. Hurdle bow.

Form: 9

Spotty Dog⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: M Hawker

200/1

Bred to be ordinary and ran to just a poor level in a Fontwell bumper on debut in October.

Form: 6

Treacys Jim^h²⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost

300/1

Forecasts

Red Lion Lad (13/8), Karl Philippe (15/8), Dock Road (3/1), Bob Backus (9/1), Sixty Dollars More (25/1), Mayne (28/1), Getaway Cory (50/1), Bring The Action (50/1), Antidote (66/1), Whataboutwalt (100/1), Spotty Dog (200/1), Monarch O The Glen (200/1), Mr Scaff (250/1), Treacys Jim (300/1)

David Pipe has his team in good order at present so THE RED LION might well be up to maintaining his unbeaten record now switching to Rules having won an Irish point on his debut in March. Karl Philippe made it 2 from 2 in bumpers at Carlisle last month and commands plenty of respect now going hurdling, with Dock Road likely to build on his C&D second.
