Fair on Flat (stays 10.5f), landing a third win of a busy campaign in claimer at Sligo (10.2f) last time, sole outing for James McAuley. Not dismissed on hurdle debut.
|
Poor on the Flat nowadays and tailed off completed start over hurdles.
|
Useful at one time on Flat (stays 1m) but has lost his way completely. Can only be watched on hurdle debut.
|
Has shown little in 2 bumpers 8 months apart so easily passed over on hurdle debut.
|
Landed a Wincanton bumper a touch cosily on debut last November. Found only one too good on hurdling debut there a month later but wasn't quite in the same form at Taunton (19f) last time, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Has left Jack R. Barber ahead of return.
|
Well held in 2 bumpers. Showed more sent hurdling when fifth at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 3 weeks ago, but was well positioned in a slowly-run race.
|
Fairly useful 1¾m winner on Flat in France who matched that form at the second attempt over hurdles when second in the Adonis at Kempton in February. Couldn't up his game in the Triumph the following month but wasn't beaten far in a match on his return and sets a clear standard.
|
€24,000 3-y-o, Trans Island gelding. Dam, maiden pointer, half-sister to fairly useful chase winner (stays 3¼m) Tallow For Coal. Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (May 2021).
|
Regressive in bumpers but showed aptitude for hurdling alongside some waywardness after 11 months off when third in small-field affair at Huntingdon (19.6f) 24 days ago. That form isn't remotely solid, though.

Teddy Blue (4/11), Norton Hill (5/2), Gold In Doha (7/2), Phil The Sock (16/1), Alhaajeb (20/1), Alexandra Romanov (25/1), Maire's Dream (33/1), Wang Dang Doodle (40/1), History Writer (100/1), Honore (125/1), Haraz (200/1)
TEDDY BLUE sets a pretty good standard and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark as a hurdler. Gold in Doha, Alhaajeb and Norton Hill can battle it out for minor honours.
