Second in 4-y-o event at Fontainebleau (2 lengths behind Kerbochet) on hurdling debut in October 2019. Left A. Boisbrunet €75,000 following month and though off since he should still improve.

20/1
Has an appealing pedigree and shaped with encouragement when sixth in a bumper at Chepstow that worked out well. Off 4 months after and disappointing at Doncaster. Now goes hurdling with a hood on.

Flat-bred gelding who got it right at third attempt in bumpers at Ludlow (14f, heavy) on debut for this yard in December, despite hanging badly left under pressure. Should have a future over hurdles.

Showed ability only start in bumpers and easily best effort over hurdles when second in 2m Sandown novice on penultimate outing. Latest effort was very disappointing, but worth another chance.

Battle of Marengo gelding. Dam 25f chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 21f) Not Another Muddle. Tongue tied and dropped away in a course bumper recently.

Bumper winner on debut in Ireland. Looks a work-in-progress for this yard so far, failing to see his races out. Subsequent breathing operation may help him.

Well backed but too free when fifth of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in November. Represents top yard ahead of hurdles debut.

Saint Des Saints gelding. Dam (c135/h143) French hurdler/chaser (2¼m-2¾m winner). Tongue tied and made a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in March. Bred to excel over jumps.

Looked green in bumpers and must up his game markedly to get involved now hurdling.

Forecasts

Le Bateau (7/4), Sayadam (15/8), Mister Watson (13/2), Kepy Blanc (7/1), Train Hill (16/1), War Call (18/1), King Ferdinand (20/1), Season In The Sun (28/1), All Shook Up (50/1), Miltiades (50/1), Carrig Coch (100/1), Muddled Up (100/1)

Verdict

SAYADAM showed a really willing attitude when justifying favouritism in a Kelso bumper in March and, given his pedigree, he ought to excel over hurdles. With that in mind, he's preferred in favour of Mister Watson and Kepy Blanc.

  1. SAYADAM (FR)
  2. MISTER WATSON
  3. KEPY BLANC (FR)
