4/7
Ex-French bumper winner who has made a solid start to his hurdling career, placed with 3 times for Mel Rowley prior to landing the odds for new yard at Worcester 3 weeks ago (on the back of breathing surgery). Just about the one to beat under a penalty.

Showed more than he had in bumpers switched to hurdling when second in 14-runner novice at Kelso (18.1f) last month. Didn't need to replicate that form to go one place better at Newcastle a fortnight ago and another bold bid is assured.

Little worthwhile form and jumping is a major issue. Tongue tie on first time.

Found only one too good in a Catterick bumper in February but he dropped away pretty tamely at Carlisle a month later. Now goes hurdling.

13/2
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), possibly amiss final start in 2022. Sold from Richard Hannon 28,000 gns in October and possesses the raw ability to be a factor if taking to hurdling. Tongue tied.

Modest maiden on Flat for Richard Fahey but showed more than he did on hurdles debut at Hexham at beginning of this month, bad mistake at the last.

Fair on Flat (stays 2m), unsuited by conditions final start in 2022: sold from David O'Meara £24,000 later in October. Hurdles bow.

150/1
Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Invicta Lake (2¼m-25f winner), and half-sister to 2 winners, including useful bumper winner Colonel Mortimer. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (winner up to 3m) Material World. Unplaced all 3 starts in Irish points (latest May 14).

Forecasts

Idealdes Villerets (4/7), Special Rate (3/1), Grand Scheme (13/2), City Vaults (10/1), Foxwood (14/1), Acoustic (80/1), Confelicity (150/1), Captain Nelson (250/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from IDEALDES VILLERETS for Donald McCain so he's fancied to see off the other penalised runner, Special Rate. Of the rest, Grand Scheme's Flat ability brings him into the equation now hurdling for new connections.
