11/8

£160,000 3-y-o, Camelot gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Game, stays 21f. Dam 1¼m winner. Has to be taken seriously.

Form:

Happy Du Mesnil⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 110| BF

7/4

Third in a French bumper and plenty of promise on 3 of 4 starts over hurdles, runner-up when odds-on at Ffos Las in March (failed to jump with any fluency). Sets a fair standard.

Form: 3/3532-

Henry's Friend

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

8/1

Second foal, dam placed both starts in points.

Form:

Waterloo Quay²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis

9/2

Fair form on each of his 4 starts in bumpers, second for the third time at Exeter last month. Flat-bred so not certain to flourish over hurdles but he still needs respect.

Form: 22/52-

DOMINIC'S FAULT fetched £160,000 as a 3-y-o and has been pitched into a very winnable race for hurdles debut, so he could be up to the job. Happy du Mesnil's jumping lacked fluency when failing to land the odds at Ffos Las but he should still be bang there at this level.
