10/3

Fairly useful hurdles winner (at 20f) who wasn't disgraced given the trip was likely on sharp side when third over 17f here last week. This more suitable and fancied to be in the mix. Hood off.

16/1

Doyen gelding who showed more than first time up on the back of 3-months off when 10.5 lengths third in a Perth bumper (16.2f) in April. Interesting now hurdling on return for good yard.

High Moon²¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: R Menzies

50/1

Hinted at ability in 2 bumpers for Tim Easterby last year. Acquired by new yard for £32,000 and whilst he never threatened on hurdles bow at Wetherby in March, he may be one for handicaps later on.

Form: 56/5-

Kayf Hernando¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/1

£70,000 4-y-o who was runner-up sole start in Irish points and definite promise from yard/bumper debut third at Hexham (16.2f) in April, denied a run home turn but running on. Interesting now hurdling

Form: 23-

Landacre Bridge¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth

33/1

Fair form when runner-up in a Ffos Las bumper (15.8f) in May. Changed hands for £80,000 thereafter and better than he could show when fifth of 8 at Market Rasen in June. Can make his mark over timber.

Form: 25

Largy Fix^t²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed| BF

33/1

Point winner who fetched £170,000 as a 4-y-o. Seemingly not 100% when well held last of 17 in a Cork bumper only start for Mouse Morris back in April and market may guide now hurdling for new stable.

Form: F1/0-

Mister Whitaker²¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 140| CD

8/13

Established as a useful handicap chaser for Mick Channon (excellent record at Cheltenham). Reportedly bled final start in March but returns over hurdles with new yard in rude health. Interesting.

Form: 5P3/660-

Ritson²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies

28/1

Ex-pointer who surpassed opening exploits in bumpers when third at Newcastle in February and matched that when midfield in 8-runner Hexham bumper in March. Market should guide now tackling timber.

Form: 6334-

Warriors Story³⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander

40/1

Related to above-average jumpers and showed ability without looking progressive in bumpers last term. Step up in trip rates a likely plus now attentions are switched to hurdling on debut for new yard.

Form: 4348-

Dat'shallot²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond

200/1

Didn't achieve much in bumpers and rates a longer-term project judged on his hurdling debut effort at Hexham (16.2f) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 486

Forecasts

Mister Whitaker (8/13), Glentruan (10/3), Kayf Hernando (5/1), Everyday Champagne (16/1), Ritson (28/1), Largy Fix (33/1), Landacre Bridge (33/1), Warriors Story (40/1), High Moon (50/1), Dat'shallot (200/1), Filou D'Anjou (250/1)

MISTER WHITAKER was below his best over fences at Cheltenham in March (reportedly bled) yet this useful handicap chaser returns over timber with his new yard in rude health and, with a low-mileage hurdles profile to call upon, he could well be worth chancing to bounce back and come out on top. Kayf Hernando is interesting on hurdles bow and feared, along with Glentruan and Everyday Champagne.
