11/1

Best effort over hurdles in Ireland for Colin Bowe when winning a 15-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good) in August but he'll likely need a good deal more if he's to defy a penalty here.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Kerry Lee

13/8

€60,000 Kayf Tara gelding who made a winning debut in a Warwick bumper in March. Should be up to making presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Fair Flat winner but well-held fifth on Stratford hurdle debut 22 days ago.

Fraughan Hill³⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: W GreatrexWS

40/1

Well held in Flat maiden in 2018 for Patrick J. Flynn. Third on last of 3 starts in Irish points since. Had wind surgery ahead of hurdle debut for new yard. Watching brief advised.

Go Dante²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

11/10

Cost plenty as a store and gave a good indication as to why with a facile debut success in a Wincanton bumper in March. Exciting prospect for novice hurdles.

Hey Joe³⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: J & A O'Neill

33/1

Progressive in bumpers (runner-up twice) but well beaten on Leicester hurdle debut last November. Absent since.

Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle just under a year apart.

Kilcasey Gold¹⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: C Ellam

150/1

Distant second on his completed start in points. Well held in a Punchestown bumper in March. Likely outsider now hurdling for new yard.

Ted's Friend^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien| D

11/1

Won a Newton Abbot bumper in April and ran to similar level when second at Warwick (2m, good to soft) on return last month. Must enter calculations on hurdles debut.

Form: 31-2

Green Planet¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| BF

8/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Should have the ability to make an impact over hurdles. Interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Form: 4-

Heritier¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

150/1

Bumper winner in France but offered little in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle on his recent first outing for new connections.

Form: P7-120

Money For Jam¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood

150/1

Fourth in point in April. Probably best to look elsewhere unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

One For Navigation²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England

150/1

Well held in 2 bumpers for David O'Meara last season so hard to fancy now hurdling for new yard.

Forecasts

Go Dante (11/10), Black Poppy (13/8), Green Planet (8/1), Zamond (11/1), Ted's Friend (11/1), Hey Joe (33/1), Fraughan Hill (40/1), Francisco Bay (66/1), Heritier (150/1), Immortal Fame (150/1), Money For Jam (150/1), Kilcasey Gold (150/1), One For Navigation (150/1)

GO DANTE looked an exciting prospect when quickening clear in a Wincanton bumper in March and can make a successful start over hurdles. Fellow bumper winners Black Poppy and Ted's Friend head the dangers along with Alan King Flat-recruit Green Planet.
