5/6

Put experience to good use when making all in Newbury bumper. Did plenty wrong when sixth on hurdles bow at Ascot on return and capable of better. One to take seriously.

Planned Paradise¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland

10/1

½-length second of 2 finishers sole start in Irish points (Dec 2020). Better effort in maiden hurdles when sixth at Worcester on debut for this yard, finishing with running left.

Form: 2-66

Storm Of Light²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

5/2

€125,000 3-y-o buy who failed to meet expectations in a hood on Huntingdon bumper debut, though made an encouraging debut in this sphere when second at Wetherby on return. May well do better.

Form: 42

Tea For Free^t1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon

15/2

Won sole start in Irish points and showed a bit when fourth in a Wetherby bumper on Rules debut. Remote third on hurdles bow at Worcester on return, finishing tired on testing ground. Tongue strap on.

Form: 14-3

Gentle Connections

13/2

£7,000 3-y-o, Gentlewave filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Midnight River. Dam ran twice in bumpers. One to note for leading yard.

Forecasts

Fine Casting (5/6), Storm Of Light (5/2), Gentle Connections (13/2), Tea For Free (15/2), Planned Paradise (10/1), C'Mon Sharpy (100/1), Glebe Aalin (150/1), Kilcasey Gold (300/1)

Bumper-winner FINE CASTING showed plenty to work on when sixth on his hurdles bow at Ascot on return and shades the vote over Storm of Light, who also made an encouraging start to this sphere at Wetherby. Gentle Connections is also worth a look on debut given her yard.
