Bridget Breeze³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| D

6/1

From a good family and was the pick of the paddock before making a successful start at Kelso last month, making all. That form looks flimsy but she is entitled to improve.

Form: 1

Mellificent¹⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

5/6

Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Tamar Bridge. 25/1, made a very promising start in traditionally-warm Fairyhouse bumper in April for Lorna Fowler, looking a stayer as she took second near the finish. €150,000 purchase for new connections and sure to improve.

Form: 2-

A Tickatickatiming

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

40/1

Sixties Icon filly. Sister to fair hurdler Hiconic. Dam 2¼m-2¾m hurdle winner for yard (also 1m-17f winner on Flat).

Form:

Blow The Budget

11/1

£32,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Kakamora. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Bitofapuzzle. Yard in form and she's worth a look.

Form:

Cindysox

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/1

€48,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara filly. Dam, bumper/fairly useful hurdle winner up to 2½m, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Bitofapuzzle. Yard can ready them in bumpers and she's one to note.

Form:

Hedera Park

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: David Bass| T: O Signy

16/1

Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser The Crafty Butcher. Yard had a bumper winner first time up at Hexham on Saturday.

Form:

Insolente Nelsa¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

10/1

Ran out on debut here in March and never a threat at Exeter next time.

Form: R5-

Lady Berlais¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

80/1

12/1, little impact after wind op at Fontwell on debut 5 months ago.

Form: 5

Politacus

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

10/1

Epaulette filly. No great appeal on paper but yard have been making hay in bumpers with newcomers in recent months.

Form:

Somerway

25/1

€15,000 3-y-o, Getaway filly. Dam 21f/2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to smart staying chaser Roulez Cool, out of useful but unreliable 2½m chaser Makounji.

Forecasts

Mellificent (5/6), Bridget Breeze (6/1), Politacus (10/1), Cindysox (10/1), Insolente Nelsa (10/1), Blow The Budget (11/1), Hedera Park (16/1), Sweet Magic (20/1), Somerway (25/1), A Tickatickatiming (40/1), Lady Berlais (80/1), Zulu Hours (150/1)

MELLIFICENT created a good impression when second on debut at Fairyhouse for Lorna Fowler in April and fetched €150,000 subsequently. She'll stay further over jumps in time but is hard to get away from here. Kelso-winner Bridget Breeze should progress also and is a firm player. Politacus is one of the newcomers to note.
