Boys Of Wexford²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: Henry Oliver

150/1

Millenary gelding who finished runner-up sole start in Irish points back in May. However, easy to back and ultimately well held on hurdles debut at Stratford (2m) last month. Passed over here.

Form: 20

Cards Are Dealt¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: G Brown

250/1

Down the field in a bumper/pair of maiden/novice hurdles in recent months.

Form: 005

Clear On Top^t1²⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

80/1

Nicely-bred individual but low-key start to his career, well held in a couple of bumpers earlier this year. Needs to step up now his attentions are switched to timber. Tongue tied.

Form: 90-

Hartur D'oudairies³⁶²

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

4/5

Kapgarde gelding who ran out a convincing winner of a 12-runner maiden bumper at Le Mans (15.9f) 12 months ago. Looks very interesting now hurdling for leading yard. High on shortlist.

Form: 1-

Hipop Des Ongrais¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: R Walford

150/1

Unplaced in pair of bumpers in France but he did offer some encouragement when eighth in a Fontwell maiden hurdle (17.7f) on yard debut 12 days ago. Still, likely type for handicaps in due course.

Form: 75-8

Let's Have Another¹⁷²

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

15/2

Fame And Glory gelding who showed promise amidst some greenness when third in a Ffos Las bumper (15.8f) in May. Goes hurdling now with yard in good order and he's of interest.

Form: 3

Moscow Spy²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

40/1

Fourth only start in bumpers but bred for stamina and he only plugged on in to midfield over this trip on hurdles bow at Stratford in October. Possibly a longer-term project.

Form: 45

Musical^h,t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech

200/1

Well held in a bumper/pair of novice hurdle 6 month apart and low-grade handicaps may be more his bag further down the line.

Form: 3-87

Party Business²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams

11/4

€40,000 Shantou gelding who has finished in-the-frame all 3 starts in bumpers, pulling clear of remainder when second in a C&D event in March. Type to make his mark over hurdles and one to consider.

Form: 332-

Presenting Pete³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

20/1

Promise on 2 of 3 starts in bumpers and given considerate introduction to hurdles when fifth of 9 in a Market Rasen maiden (16.5f) recently. Another who may do better further down the line.

Form: 23-75

Robelli³⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Ian Williams| D

17/2

Readily surpassed sole previous effort when running out a 33/1 winner of a Lingfield bumper (2m) in January. Is bred to stay well and market should guide with yard saddling Party Business.

Form: 6/1-

Rose Kar⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Christian Williams

200/1

Well held in bumpers and not beat a rival in pair of maiden/novice hurdles in recent days. Rates a longer-term project.

Form: 5805

Sidewaysinmilan²³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| CD

12/1

Runner-up both starts in points and showed benefit of bumper debut when running out a convincing winner of a C&D event in March. Looks a bright prospect for hurdling on return.

Form: 2241-

William Ewart²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams

80/1

Some promise in a couple of bumpers and it was a similar scenario on his recent hurdles debut at Chepstow (19.4f) in October. Looks a likely type to flourish at a later stage in handicaps.

Form: 557

Yambocharlie^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood

250/1

Bred to do better in time but no immediate encouragement in a bumper back in the spring and similarly well held both starts over hurdles last month. Passed over here.

Form: 3-06

Forecasts

Hartur D'oudairies (4/5), Party Business (11/4), Let's Have Another (15/2), Robelli (17/2), Sidewaysinmilan (12/1), Presenting Pete (20/1), Moscow Spy (40/1), Clear On Top (80/1), William Ewart (80/1), Boys Of Wexford (150/1), Hipop Des Ongrais (150/1), Musical (200/1), Rose Kar (200/1), Yambocharlie (250/1), Cards Are Dealt (250/1)

HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES ran out a pretty authoritative winner of a maiden bumper on his sole start in France this time last year and he looks of serious interest now starting out over hurdles for his powerful stable. There is strength in opposition though, dangers headed up by Party Business and Let's Have Another. Sidewaysinmilan is another also of interest.
