Colonel Bellew

Age: 4| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: J P O'Brien

11/4

Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Vinnie's Wish. Has a mixed pedigree, but obviously warrants respect for top dual-purpose stable.

Form:

Daghdha^t1¹⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: P Martin

11/1

Promising individual. Eleventh of 25 in bumper (10/1) at Punchestown (18f, good to soft) on NH debut, unable to sustain effort. Off 6 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Plenty to find.

Form: 0-

Gringo D'aubrelle³³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott| BF

4/6

Promising type. Second of 17 in novice hurdle (6/4) at Galway (19.1f, heavy) on hurdles bow 33 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Will take all the beating.

Form: 13-2

Grove Hill Prince

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: N J Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: K Smith

125/1

Mustameet gelding. Dam unraced. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Form:

Kool Kal²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr C Mullins⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in bumper (33/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 4

Mount Brown

Age: 4| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr Pat Taaffe⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

4/1

Fulbright gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Pearl of The West. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Highly respected on debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Sixhandsinmypocket

Age: 4| Weight: 12-2| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

40/1

Geordieland gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Vivant. Dam (h103) ran once over hurdles/once in bumper.

100/1

Elzaam gelding. Dam (h86) maiden hurdler. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Gringo D'aubrelle (4/6), Colonel Bellew (11/4), King Kali (7/2), Mount Brown (4/1), L'yser (13/2), Daghdha (11/1), Watch The Weather (33/1), Kool Kal (33/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (40/1), Use Your Illusion (100/1), Grove Hill Prince (125/1)

GRINGO D'AUBRELLE has recorded a highly promising hurdling debut since running in a bumper first time out, so he's well fancied to open his account back in this sphere. Newcomers Colonel Bellew and Mount Brown are interesting on paper and should ensure that it's not all plain sailing for the selection.
