Form: 6P-3

Maxcel³³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

4/1

Progressive form in bumpers, quickening nicely to land 5-runner contest at Newton Abbot in July 2021. Off since but he's in good hands.

Form: 85-4

Nibras Gold^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

11/10

Won a brace of staying handicaps on the level last summer. Left Ismail Mohammed for 30,000 gns and made a positive start to his hurdles career when runner-up at Ffos Las a month ago. Leading claims.

Form: 2

Prince Cleni¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

40/1

Out of a French hurdle winner and offered something to work on when fifth in a Ludlow bumper on debut in April. Didn't achieve a great deal on hurdles debut here 11 days ago but he's entitled to build on that.

Form: 5-6

Gata Ban¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

3/1

20,000 gns 5-y-o, Getaway mare. Cosily off mark in Irish points at the third attempt and runner-up on hurdles debut (21.8f) a fortnight ago. Big player if coping with drop in trip.

Form: B-412

Forecasts

Nibras Gold (11/10), Gata Ban (3/1), Maxcel (4/1), Cheating Jack (11/2), Paudie (12/1), Prince Cleni (40/1), Theoldfellashorse (40/1), Tika Moon (80/1), Mr Anderson (80/1), Blue Shark (100/1)

NIBRAS GOLD made a pleasing start to his hurdles career when runner-up at Ffos Las, and given his Flat background, he may possess too much speed for ex-pointer Gata Ban.
