Charlie My Boy^t1⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J R Jenkins

40/1

Showed little all 3 starts to date and easy enough to look elsewhere. Tongue tie fitted.

Form: 007-

Hobbs Joy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland

9/1

Norse Dancer gelding. Dam (c96/h97) 3m-27f hurdle/chase winner. Market should prove a useful guide but he wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact here.

Lost In The Mist²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr J Reddington⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gallagher

13/2

Half-brother to a point winner from the family of useful hurdler/smart chaser Southern Vic. Shaped better than on debut 13 months ago when third of 9 in a C&D bumper 3 weeks ago and in with an each-way shout again on balance.

Form: 8-3

Belisaire^v³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: J Butler

25/1

Half-brother to German 7f-1¼m winner Blue Distant. Dam unraced. Hasn't offered a great deal of promise either start in bumpers, including when well held fifth in this headgear over C&D 5 weeks ago.

Form: 6-5

City Roller^p1,h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: L Horsfall

22/1

Scorpion gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Ceara Be. Dam 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Looked badly in need of experience when sixth of 10 in a C&D bumper on debut 5 weeks ago. Best watched.

Form: 6

Intrepide Sud^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| BF

8/15

Half-brother to 2m hurdle winner who pulled too hard on debut at Aintree (sole start for T. Ellis) and arguably should have come out on top for new stable over C&D 3 weeks ago, well off pace and finishing with running left. Sound claims on that evidence.

Form: 1-62

Meraki Mist¹³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: Simon Earle

16/1

£35,000 3-y-o, Tin Horse gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Flamboyant Joyaux and Ermontois. Hinted at ability when eighth of 12 in a Wincanton bumper on debut in March and he may well step up on that now.

Form: 8-

Robber's Bridge^h⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Simon Earle

10/1

£20,000 3-y-o, Frammassone gelding. Sent off at 66/1 but offered something to work on when fourth of 10 in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) back in May, plugging on from 3f out. Can build on that.

Form: 4

Elsieanne²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

28/1

Haafhd filly. Half-sister to 1m-1½m winner Boy George. Ran to just a poor level when fourth of 9 in bumper (33/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good) on NH debut 28 days ago but she may well come on for that.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Intrepide Sud (8/15), Lost In The Mist (13/2), Hobbs Joy (9/1), Robber's Bridge (10/1), Meraki Mist (16/1), City Roller (22/1), Belisaire (25/1), Elsieanne (28/1), Charlie My Boy (40/1)

INTREPIDE SUD wasn't seen to best effect when runner-up in a C&D bumper on debut for Fergal O'Brien 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left having come from a long way back. He gets the nod to gain compensation, with Robber's Bridge and debutant Hobbs Joy fancied to give the selection most to think about.
