Broomfield Burg^h¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| D

8/15

Got stuck in the mud in a course bumper last winter but looked a good prospect when winning a bumper and novice hurdle in spring. Yard won this with smart Dusart last year. The one to beat.

Form: 17-11

Boombawn¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

14/1

Shaped well when second in a Worcester bumper for Tom Weston in May. Has switched to Dan Skelton ahead of hurdle debut. Interesting runner.

300/1

Down the field in a bumper and maiden hurdle so far and likely he's up against it again.

Kepy Blanc¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White

14/1

Bought for €75,000 after finishing second in hurdle in France in autumn 2019 but not seen again until finishing a remote third in a Warwick maiden in May. Off a further 6 months. Perhaps best watched.

Form: 2/3

Season In The Sun²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

125/1

Modest in bumpers and comfortably held both starts over hurdles. Looks more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 340-05

Silent Revolution²⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BF| DWS

9/4

Fairly useful in bumpers last season, including a win at Huntingdon. Should have a bright future over hurdles for his top stable. Has had wind surgery.

Form: 213-

Forecasts

Broomfield Burg (8/15), Silent Revolution (9/4), Chancycourt (4/1), Boombawn (14/1), Kepy Blanc (14/1), Season In The Sun (125/1), Cards Are Dealt (300/1)

Nicky Henderson sent out the smart Dusart to take this 12 months ago and BROOMFIELD BURG looks to have the same sort of potential after easy bumper/hurdle wins in the spring. Bumper recruits Silent Revolution, Chancycourt and Boombawn can fight it out for the forecast spot.
