Off time: 13:32 | Winning time: 5m 11.55s

Empty Quarter⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

25/1

Modest form in bumpers, runner-up twice, but finished lame having shaped well on hurdles debut at Bangor in July 2020 and offered nothing 19 months on at Musselburgh. Plenty to prove.

Form: 422/5-4

Gonfalonier²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Patrick Turley

8/1

No impact in bumpers/3 maiden hurdles in Ireland.

Goodoldbill²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: Mrs J Walton

22/1

By Leading Light out of a 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Irish point winner but faded out of it on hurdles debut at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago.

Form: P-36515

Hogan³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: David England| T: O Murphy

5/1

€55,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to 2 point winners. Never a threat in 2m novice hurdle at Warwick 30 days ago, running green. Longer trip should suit but he has plenty to find.

Form: 5

Roan²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine

11/1

Promise on bumper debut and again on second go over hurdles over this trip at Hexham 4 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 363

Sundrenched^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Lambe| OR: 95

15/2

Fairly useful bumper winner but has struggled over hurdles. Back up in trip here.

Form: 00907P

Tfou³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

6/4

Plenty of promise in bumper here and Newcastle novice hurdle over this trip this year. More to come.

Form: 24

Mourne Lass⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

7/2

Left hurdling debut form behind when second of 8 in novice at Carlisle (19.3f, soft, 10/1) 9 weeks ago, staying on well. Should have more to offer and lots to like under Brian Hughes.

Form: 3452

Forecasts

Tfou (6/4), Mourne Lass (7/2), Hogan (5/1), Sundrenched (15/2), Gonfalonier (8/1), Thunder In Milan (10/1), Roan (11/1), Goodoldbill (22/1), Empty Quarter (25/1)

MOURNE LASS has more to offer after a good run at Carlisle back in February and is preferred to the equally-promising Tfou. Roan completes the shortlist after shaping better on his second hurdles run at Hexham.
