100/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who is easily passed over on this switch to hurdling.

Form:

Broomfields Kan⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D B Hurst⁽⁷⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 104

10/1

Point winner who has been well held both starts in maiden chases but hurdles efforts haven't been devoid of promise.

Form: 883-709

Firth Of Forth¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin

14/1

Flemensfirth gelding who showed plenty to work on first time up when runner-up in a Kelso bumper in March. Below that level in a similar event last time but not ruled out now going hurdling.

Form: 2-8

Glebe Aalin²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

33/1

Easy to back and showed nothing in a Wetherby bumper on debut in March.

Form: 0-

Hidor De Bersy²⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Symonds

9/4

Half-brother to 6 winners, including temperamental but useful hurdler Don Bersy. Made a successful bumper debut in 16-runner event at Huntingdon in March and is bred to do well over obstacles.

Form: 1-

Lightning Attack¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

66/1

Modest on Flat, stays 1¼m, respectable effort last time. Has left Roger Teal ahead of hurdle debut and most likely best watched.

Form:

Post Chaise²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

150/1

Well held both outings in maiden hurdles.

Form: 3-06

Snowy Clouds²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

13/2

£7,000 4-y-o, Cloudings gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Going Gold, and half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Cardy. Dam placed in point. Successful sole outing in point bumpers (Apr 3).

Form: 1-

The Big Jetaway¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

9/2

Placed just once from 4 starts in Irish points, but has joined a yard that has made a tremendous start to the season, so must enter calculations.

Form: 43-PP

Torngat⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson

33/1

Runner-up on second start in Irish points but only mid-division in 2 bumpers 7 months apart, trained on debut by S. Curling.

Form: 952-7

Granny Mags¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith

150/1

Offered little on first run since leaving Ms Georgina Nicholls when a well-beaten fourth on Ayr hurdling debut a fortnight ago.

Form: 62-44

Nurse Susan

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

2/1

Doctor Dino filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Le Martalin, stays 23f, and useful 2m hurdle winner Vision d'Honneur. Newcomer from a top yard, so requires plenty of respect.

Form:

Silver Star Mix^h,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith

200/1

Maiden pointer who was tailed off on completed Rules start at Ayr 2 weeks ago.

Form: 63/7U-P6

Star Dreamer¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett

33/1

Modest maiden on Flat, stays 16.5f, down the field in handicap last time. Makes little appeal on hurdle bow.

Form:

The Wild Wild Sea¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: David England| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

66/1

Encouraging second of 12 in bumper at Newbury first time out but below that level since, including over hurdles last twice.

Form: 27-777

Forecasts

Nurse Susan (2/1), Hidor De Bersy (9/4), The Big Jetaway (9/2), Fortescue Wood (6/1), Snowy Clouds (13/2), Broomfields Kan (10/1), Firth Of Forth (14/1), Torngat (33/1), Glebe Aalin (33/1), Star Dreamer (33/1), Lightning Attack (66/1), The Wild Wild Sea (66/1), Bouncing Bobby (100/1), Post Chaise (150/1), Granny Mags (150/1), Silver Star Mix (200/1)

Bumper-winner HIDOR DE BERSY boasts a good jumping pedigree and starts out at a realistic level in this sphere, so he looks to have plenty going for him. Nurse Susan is an interesting debutante representing a top yard, while Snowy Clouds, a winner of his sole outing in point bumpers, is another to take seriously.
