13/8
Clearly has had his problems but also possesses a fair bit of talent, running well back from another 6 months off at Fontwell (21.8f) 5 weeks ago. Might need further, but definitely one of the more likely winners here.

Irish point winner but little impact in 2 maiden hurdles in recent weeks. Could be one for handicaps.

Has made a good start over hurdles, no match for an improver when second at Bangor 7 weeks ago. Third that day won next time and he can go well up in trip.

Modest bumper winner in April 2021. Showed little in Flat AW maiden when last seen in December but bred for this game (half-sister to smart hurdler Grand Vision).

40/1
Half-sister to useful chaser Bishops Court (2m-2½m winner, by Helissio) and modest hurdler Malinas Island (23f-3m winner, by Malinas). Unplaced both starts in point bumpers, unseated rider over fences last time (Apr 18). Starts out over hurdles in a thin event.

Well-bred fair maiden on the Flat. Market likely best guide to expectations on hurdles bow.

Forecasts

Tip Top Tonto (11/8), Fortunate Fred (13/8), Gold Wing (10/3), Haloa Mail (20/1), Universal Island (40/1), Rose Above It (40/1), Old Page (50/1), Holnest Pound (66/1), Strictlyasoldier (100/1)

Verdict

TIP TOP TONTO split an improver and a subsequent winner at Bangor 7 weeks ago and could have more to offer up in trip, so is narrowly preferred to Fortunate Fred, who has plenty of ability for all he's fragile, but might not be too suited by the drop back in distance.

  1. Tip Top Tonto11/8
  2. Fortunate Fred13/8
  3. Gold Wing10/3
