Brother to smart hurdler/chaser Death Duty and stepped up on his debut when fourth in a bumper over C&D. Should be better in this sphere, so he's not a forlorn hope.
|
Schiaparelli gelding who went with some encouragement in a couple of bumpers and bettered his hurdling debut when third at Sedgefield recently. Needs more improvement if he's to feature in this.
|
Well held in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdles.
|
Well beaten in bumpers and unseated in a novice over C&D on hurdling debut.
|
Well held in bumper and yet to make an impact over hurdles. Others are more persuasive.
|
Looked a bit quirky in a bumper on debut but made a positive impression when runner-up on his first go over hurdles at Warwick. Unsuited by the drop in trip when filling same spot at Aintree since but remains capable of better, especially now back on softer ground.
|
Fair form in bumpers but has been in need of experience so far over hurdles. Unlikely to feature.
|
Looks limited on early evidence.
|
Showed ability in bumpers but has shaped as if in need of further on both hurdling outings to date. Likely to be of more interest once qualified for handicaps.
|
Bred to need time and distance and has only shown modest form in bumpers. Likely to have an educational start to hurdling after a couple of months off.
|
Dropped away in a Punchestown bumper on Rules debut back in March 2021 and, while he scored twice in points after, his hurdling efforts since his return have lacked encouragement.
|
Well held in Kempton bumper on only outing for Paul Nicholls almost 2 years ago and no impact so far for current stable over hurdles.
|
€90,000 3-y-o, third foal, dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Emily Gray. Interesting newcomer, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Twice raced in bumpers, much better effort when seventh of 14 at Exeter (50/1). No impact in a novice at Wincanton on hurdling debut recently, though.
|
Just modest form at best in bumpers (for Tjade Collier) and well held completed starts over hurdles.
|
Useful bumper performer (dual winner) who was all the rage in betting but blew her chance with bad mistake 2 out when third on hurdles bow at Wetherby (2m) 11 months ago. Type to improve, possibly significantly on the back of that.
|
Showed something to work on when third in a bumper at Wetherby on debut but down the field at Newcastle 11 months later. Unlikely to feature on hurdling debut.

Forecasts
Etalon (2/5), Miss Lamb (7/2), Ranging Bear (8/1), Big Ambitions (22/1), Present Fair (25/1), Hungry Hill (25/1), Boomslang (28/1), Letmetellusomethin (50/1), Sea Village (66/1), Getabeau (80/1), Wellfleet Witch (80/1), Prince Nino (100/1), Eddie Mush (125/1), Emily Wade (200/1), Dee Day Landing (200/1), Haut Berry (250/1), Couldntgivamonkeys (250/1)
ETALON has the best form and remains with potential, so he's marginally preferred to Miss Lamb, who won twice in bumpers and showed aptitude for hurdling when third over C&D 11 months ago. They're likely to dominate unless well-bred newcomer Ranging Bear proves to be above average.
- Etalon2/5
