€38,000 3-y-o, Jeremy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, notably useful chaser Arctic Skipper. Dual points winner in 2019, so he's no forlorn hope despite his absence. Worth a market check.
|
Point/bumper winner for Sam Curling who made a promising start in this sphere after 10 months off when patiently-ridden fourth in novice at Newbury (20.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Leading claims.
|
No Risk At All gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class 2m chaser Sire de Grugy. Appeals on paper, so he's a much-respected debutant.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, tailed-off second when he refused in novice hurdle here (125/1) 33 days ago. Has lots to find on form.
|
Off 2 years (finished lame on debut fifth) before offering little when remote fifth of 7 in 21f novice (100/1) at Ascot 20 days ago. A big step forward is required now.
|
Winning pointer who (9/2) shaped really well on his yard bow when third of 15 in bumper here 33 days ago, set lot to do and finishing strongly. Well worth a second look on his hurdles debut.
|
Fair form shown in two bumpers, racing keenly when tenth of 15 at Cheltenham 75 days ago. Respected on his first go in this sphere.
|
Has offered little on both his runs over hurdles, eleventh of 16 in novice at Hereford (19.7f) 26 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.

Forecasts
Dom Of Mary (11/10), Mahon Point (9/4), Crossing Lines (7/2), Helios De Grugy (10/1), Sam's The Man (22/1), Largy Nights (22/1), Jukebox Junior (125/1), Tis But A Scratch (150/1)
DOM OF MARY shaped well under a patient ride when fourth on his hurdling debut at Newbury so this point/bumper scorer is fancied to take a step forward now and open his account in this sphere. Mahon Point can also boast a point win and is feared most after his promising bumper third for Fergal O'Brien. Fellow hurdling newcomer Helios de Grugy and the returning Crossing Lines need considering too.
- DOM OF MARY (FR)
- MAHON POINT
- HELIOS DE GRUGY (FR)
