Captain Teague³¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

8/11

€70,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Sky Pirate. Successful sole outing in Irish points (Feb 13). Obvious claims.

Form: 1-

Duhallow Tommy²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: T Lawes

11/2

Runner-up in a point and made a solid start under Rules when third in a Haydock bumper 7 months ago. Could make his presence felt.

Form: 2-3

Engaging Sam²⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M Goldstein| T: P Butler

150/1

Has only hinted at ability in 3 runs so far and he's unlikely to feature after 9 months off.

Form: 605-

First Offence

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

22/1

Ask horse. Dam (h125) bumper/2½m-2¾m hurdle winner. Others make more appeal.

Form:

Goodwin Racing⁶⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

9/1

Green but made an encouraging start when third of 9 in bumper at Kempton (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 months ago. Claims if he retains ability.

Form: 3/

He Knows Better⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: H Whittington

9/1

Jet Awy gelding who offered something to work on when third in a C&D event first time out. Could step forward from that, so likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 3

King William Rufus

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: C Gordon

14/1

£18,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 9.5f-13.5f winner My Lenny. Dam 6.5f-1m winner. One to monitor in the betting.

Form:

Lucky Mac

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine

125/1

Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Dam (h79), maiden hurdler, half-sister to dual bumper winner/fairly useful 19f hurdle winner Sir Boreas Hawk.

Form:

Spicy Nelson

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard

22/1

€50,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Fairy Fast. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner around 2m) Satu. Can't be dismissed.

Form:

Batwomen²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

€12,000 3-y-o, 40,000 gns 4-y-o. Third on sole start between the flags in May but the winner of that point did little for the form when beaten a long way on her Rules debut at Warwick last month.

Form: 3

Starship Mona^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

17/2

Telescope filly. Dam (h134) bumper/2½m-2¾m hurdle winner. Newcomers from yard often fancied. Wears tongue strap. Notable newcomer for a stable that should have her tuned up.

Form:

Non-Runners

Bar Thyme⁵²

Weight: 11-0| Age: 4

T: J W Mullins J: Non Runner

Madam May²⁷⁶

Weight: 10-7| Age: 4

Forecasts

Captain Teague (8/11), Duhallow Tommy (11/2), Starship Mona (17/2), Goodwin Racing (9/1), He Knows Better (9/1), King William Rufus (14/1), Bar Thyme (14/1), First Offence (22/1), Spicy Nelson (22/1), Batwomen (50/1), Madam May (100/1), Lucky Mac (125/1), Engaging Sam (150/1)

CAPTAIN TEAGUE has already landed an Irish point and he has been picked up by a top yard enjoying an excellent time of things in bumpers, so he gets the nod ahead of newcomer Starship Mona. He Knows Better looks the pick of those with bumper form.
