Heydour³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: J E Moore| T: C Gordon| OR: 105

8/1

Fairly useful chaser but struggled all 3 starts for John J. Costello. Market should guide for new yard after 14 months off.

Form: 6P323-3

Belle Jour^v¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 77| CD

4/7

Getting the hang of things over fences now, producing a career best when off the mark over C&D 10 days ago. Had plenty in hand that day so good chance he can defy a penalty.

Form: 0656-41

Toad Of Toad Hall³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 82

2/1

Poor in bumpers and little worthwhile form over hurdles but took to chasing like a duck to water when just failing here (21.6f) last month. That form looks solid so needs considering up in trip.

Form: P0/P0P-2

Forecasts

Belle Jour (4/7), Toad Of Toad Hall (2/1), Kennack Bay (7/2), Heydour (8/1), Cut And Run (10/1)

BELLE JOUR showed improvement to register a first career success on his third chase start over this C&D 10 days ago and had enough in hand that day to suggest he can defy a penalty. Toad of Toad Hall took well to chasing when just failing here 5 weeks ago so is the obvious threat.
