Falethao D'ana⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

80/1

Winning pointer who hinted at promise when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) on Rules debut 14 last autumn. Off 14 months and was well held at Bangor.

Form: 47/514-7

Jetaway Joey³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| BF

85/40

Bumper winner at Fontwell in February and made promising start in this sphere when runner-up on return. Fell when close up 2 out at Wetherby 34 days ago an a big player if brushing up on his jumping.

Form: 21-2F

Tupelo Mississippi²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 125

4/7

Dual bumper winner who made promising start over hurdles when length second to Le Cheval Noir in 2½m Carlisle novice. Didn't progress as may have been expected at Newcastle but still demands respect.

Form: 2/411-23

Welsh's Castle^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: B I Case

12/1

Multiple winning pointer band far more like it second start under Rules back from a lengthy absence when fourth in a tongue tie at Leicester last month. Should have more to offer.

Form: 121U0/4

Wilde Water⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

50/1

Minor promise in a bumper/novice hurdle nearly 2 years apart.

Form: 7/5

Lightning Gold¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: Ella Pickard

22/1

Placed twice from 4 starts in bumpers, but that was just modest form and she looks a handicap project over hurdles.

Form: 207-3P7

Forecasts

Tupelo Mississippi (4/7), Jetaway Joey (85/40), Hollymount Holly (3/1), Itsnotwhatyouthink (8/1), Welsh's Castle (12/1), Mozzaro (16/1), Lightning Gold (22/1), Intheboriscamp (33/1), Wilde Water (50/1), Falethao D'ana (80/1), Dysania (150/1)

JETAWAY JOEY needs to brush up his jumping, but if he can cut out the mistakes, a maiden hurdle should be well within his capabilities. There is depth to this though, with Holymount Holly and Tupelo Mississippi open to improvement.
