Off time: 14:41 | Winning time: 4m 0.4s

Bollin Phoenix¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Dowson| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Unplaced in trio of bumpers last season and offered little both starts over hurdles.

Form: 040-80

Cool Jet²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Ellison| D

5/2

Fairly useful winner in bumpers for Willie Mullins. One to note on hurdles bow for new yard on return.

Form: 4106-

Donna's Double²⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| CD

7/2

€12,000 Fair Mix gelding. Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Quite impressive when making a winning debut in bumper here in March and warrants respect now hurdling on return.

Form: 1-

Douglas Talking³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning start in Tipperary bumper in May for Andrew Lynch and shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling at Aintree last month. Will improve.

Form: F-19

Just Paddy's Band²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| D

28/1

Made a winning start Kelso bumper in March and not disgraced under a penalty next 2 starts, though did look ungainly off the bridle at Kelso last time. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 1-34

Kiltorcan Boy¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison

150/1

Once-raced maiden. 40/1, twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 10 days ago.

Form: 0

Parisencore³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

7/2

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers and matched that form sent hurdling when filling same spot at Kelso (16.2f) on return. Leading claims.

Form: 52-2

Seven Arches²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| CD

66/1

Defied greenness to make a winning debut at Newcastle in December. Seemingly amiss at Sedgefield next time and went with no promise on hurdles bow at Wetherby on return.

Form: 1-8P

Since Day One²⁷

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

14/1

£35,000 buy after finishing second on both completed starts in Irish points and showed plenty to work when fourth in Carlisle bumper last month. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 2P2-4

Well Educated¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: J & S Quinn

7/2

Fair form in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when fourth at Kelso in May. Open to improvement this season.

Form: 423-4

Forecasts

Cool Jet (5/2), Parisencore (7/2), Well Educated (7/2), Donna's Double (7/2), Douglas Talking (9/1), Since Day One (14/1), Andante (20/1), Just Paddy's Band (28/1), Seven Arches (66/1), Fortcanyon (66/1), Bollin Phoenix (100/1), Kiltorcan Boy (150/1)

DONNA'S DOUBLE was quite impressive when making a winning debut in a bumper here in March so could be up to making a winning start in this sphere. Parisencore found only one too good on his hurdles bow at Kelso and sets the standard on that form, with Well Educated and Cool Jet others to consider.
