Francky Du Berlais^t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 132| C| D

11/4

In fine form last summer, landing the Summer Plate at Market Rasen and right back on track this spring, confirming the promise of his Topham run when successful at Uttoxeter in April, Lower in the weights back hurdling.

Form: 68074-1

Geordie Des Champs¹⁴⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: James Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 131| CD

8/1

Beat 2 rivals in this last year and travelled powerfully when right back on track for latest win at Uttoxeter in November. Reportedly bled when pulled up in January and off since but yard in better form now.

Galileo Silver^p,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 126

5/2

Dual winner over fences in December and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts over hurdles this spring. Nudged up 2 lb but no reason why he won't give it another good shot in change of headgear.

Form: 711P2-2

Jersey Wonder¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 122

4/1

Cashed in on a falling mark in 3-runner handicap at Fontwell 18 days ago. That clearly wasn't a deep race and he's up 3 lb which might be enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 266P-51

Itacare^b,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 119

10/1

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring for the first time for this yard at Ludlow in March (on the back of a breathing op). Ran at least as well in defeat at Chepstow but off 6 weeks and was disappointing at Market Rasen.

Form: 49P12-4

Voodoo Doll²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 109| C

11/2

Isn't the easiest to catch right but was 3 lb below last winning mark and was back on his game when third at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. Repeat of that will see him bang there back up in trip minus headgear.

Form: 65524-3

Forecasts

Galileo Silver (5/2), Francky Du Berlais (11/4), Jersey Wonder (4/1), Voodoo Doll (11/2), Geordie Des Champs (8/1), Itacare (10/1), Chosen Path (10/1)

FRANCKY DU BERLAIS is better over fences than hurdles but his mark reflects that and given he arrives in top form, he may well cash in. Voodoo Doll goes without usual headgear but is still a threat, along with Galileo Silver.
