Arbennig^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/3

Made a promising start to his career when third in a course bumper a year ago. Shaped as if needing the run on Worcester hurdling bow/return 33 days ago and ought to do better.

Form: 3-6

Le Chiffre D'or²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls

1/3

Confirmed debut promise (solid form) when easily landing 5-runner bumper at Wincanton in April, quickening clear 2f out. Looks to have been found a very good opening on hurdle debut.

Form: 31-

Master Malachy^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

14/1

Half-brother to 6 winners, including fair hurdler Miss Phoebe, but well held both starts in bumpers/over hurdles.

Form: 7/6-78

Robbie Dazzler²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore

80/1

Not badly bred but made an unpromising start to his career when well held in a Worcester bumper last month.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Le Chiffre D'or (1/3), Arbennig (10/3), Master Malachy (14/1), Robbie Dazzler (80/1)

LE CHIFFRE D'OR easily landed a Wincanton bumper in April and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up on this switch to hurdling. Arbennig can give him most to think about.
