Produced a promising first effort in a Fontwell bumper. Fair form when second in maiden hurdle at Chepstow in February but that is sandwiched in between 2 poor efforts. Off 6 months. Form pick.

San Fermin⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

18/5

Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and, having won a bumper, made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when third in a novice at Stratford 93 days ago. More to come. Respected.

Form: 5/U2-13

Here Comes Henry¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

9/1

£10,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) The Skyfarmer. Runner-up sole start in points (Mar 29). Interesting newcomer.

Form: 2-

Nonna Lisa^t⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson

250/1

Fair maiden on Flat in France. Limited impact for current yard this year, including over hurdles.

Form: P-7P

Forecasts

Royal Pretender (2/1), San Fermin (18/5), Gulliver Collonges (4/1), Off The Planet (6/1), Here Comes Henry (9/1), Dinghy Young (11/1), P T Barnum (12/1), Denable (50/1), Nonna Lisa (250/1)

Bumper-winner SAN FERMIN showed an aptitude for hurdling when third in a novice at Stratford and this longer trip is sure to bring out improvement. He's preferred to Royal Pretender, who's becoming expensive to follow, and Gulliver Collonges, who's already building up a patchy profile.
