Horse A-Z
Getaway gelding who might have needed the run when tenth of 14 at Stratford on debut. Needs to step forward markedly from that if he's to make a serious impact, though.

€8,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam (b76), ran once in bumper, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Tiger O'Toole. Interesting newcomer.

5/2
Has just an ordinary pedigree but has showed clear potential on both completed starts. Saddle slipped last time, and sets a reasonable standard, so well respected.

In good hands and offered something to work on when fourth at Huntingdon 46 days ago. Should have learned from that, so hard to dismiss.

£54,000 3-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding. Brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler First Approach, and half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Hidden Charmer, stays 25f. Obvious player.

10,000 gns 3-y-o, Elusive Quality gelding. Dam (h154), 2m hurdle winner, also smart 8.4f-1¾m winner on Flat.

£45,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (h123), 17f hurdle winner, half-sister to French 2¼m-21f hurdle/chase winner Atlas du Berlais. One to take seriously on debut.

Bred to come good over longer trips and can't really be fancied having offered little at Hereford first time out.

Forecasts

Storm Dennis (5/2), Hardy Boy (5/2), Ballintubber Boy (5/1), Walkonthewildside (11/2), Gallant Commander (8/1), Notlongtillmay (17/2), Honestlyntrufully (12/1), Estate Italiana (20/1), Gris D'oudairies (25/1), Petty Cash (28/1)

Verdict

HARDY BOY and Ballintubber Boy boast noteworthy pedigrees but the former's is arguably that bit speedier, so he gets the nod for a yard that can get one ready first time out. Storm Dennis is the clear pick of those with experience.

  1. HARDY BOY (FR)
  2. BALLINTUBBER BOY (IRE)
  3. STORM DENNIS (IRE)
