Diyaken^t1²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

9/1

Promising individual. 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Compiegne (17.9f, soft) in April. First run for yard after leaving Francois Nicolle. One to note.

Form: 1-

Kandoo Kid^t³⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| CD

9/4

Bumper winner and continued the good work when comfortably off the mark in a novice hurdle at this course over a year ago. The form has worked out and he's likely to go well under a penalty.

Form: 431/1-

Schelem⁷⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

80/1

Landed a 6-runner juvenile in France over 2 years ago but hasn't been seen since and has improvement to find. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1/

Bubble Dubi¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

11/2

Third only start in points and promising start in bumpers. Hit the line with running left when second to a good prospect at Chepstow last time and looks capable of making his mark.

Form: 343-2

Don Hollow²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

8/1

Wetherby bumper winner who made a solid start over hurdles when third in a novice there 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 1-3

Master Chewy²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

7/2

Third sole start in Irish points and has shaped with plenty of encouragement on both Rules outings, third in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut 23 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 324-3

Mister Mose²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Henderson

150/1

Only fifth in a novice over C&D on hurdling debut and would need big improvement to feature in this stronger contest.

Form: 43-5

Persian Time²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: N J Henderson

3/1

€31,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Restandbethankful, and half-brother to 2 winners, including fair 2½m hurdle winner Thermusa. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Mar 6). Notable Rules newcomer.

Forecasts

Kandoo Kid (9/4), Persian Time (3/1), Master Chewy (7/2), Bubble Dubi (11/2), Don Hollow (8/1), Diyaken (9/1), Schelem (80/1), Mister Mose (150/1)

KANDOO KID showed a good attitude when making a winning start in a C&D novice over a year ago and, while not seen since, he's taken to defy both the absence and a penalty at the likely expense of Persian Time, a notable recruit from points. Diyaken is worth monitoring in the betting on his British debut.
