2/1
French bumper winner who looked useful when winning 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles in 2019/20 and belatedly built on that when scoring in 4-runner handicap at Warwick (16f) last month. Claims.

13/2
Useful winning hurdler who stepped up on recent efforts in Newbury handicap on his penultimate start. Failed by a long chalk to get near that form next time so needs to bounce back to feature.

Fair 12f Flat winner who has made good strides over hurdles, scoring at Newbury in November. Added Kempton jumpers bumpers victory (after wind op) but shaped as if amiss back in this sphere last time.

Progressed well upon his return last summer, winning 20f handicaps at Uttoxeter and Perth. Shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off on return at Stratford last month and cheekpieces go back on.

All 5 career victories have come in claiming/selling company, the latest at Fakenham (2m) in March. Ran well in competitive class 2 handicaps more recently and he's not dismissed back in a tongue tie.

Forecasts

Fix Sun (2/1), Mercian Prince (7/2), Ballyellis (11/2), Tomorrow Mystery (13/2), The Cashel Man (13/2), Clever As A Fox (7/1), Percy (50/1)

Verdict

All five of BALLYELLIS' victories have come in claiming/selling company, but having again shaped as if still in form in competitive class 2 events the last twice, he's taken to buck that trend here. Amy Murphy's Mercian Prince ran well from his lower hurdles mark when second at Market Rasen last time and he may have to settle for that placing once again, ahead of Fix Sun.
