Gaughran²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant

200/1

€22,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Peltwell and fair hurdler Mister Sweets. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, pulled up latest (May 20).

Form: FP

Jeepydoff Meel⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 119

8/13

Fairly useful maiden hurdler. Left Gordon Elliott for £16,000 and was unlucky not to finish closer when second in 7-runner handicap at Cartmel (17.2f) last week. This return to further will suit and he sets a clear standard.

Form: 3340-72

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Appleby

150/1

Down the field in 2 bumpers.

Smart Connection⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 87

125/1

Fair at best on Flat for Alice Haynes but hasn't shown much spark for present yard, including in 4 attempts over hurdles.

Form: UR-64

Gaius²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 107

11/4

Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon and progressed a bit further over hurdles when second in 8-runner novice at Aintree (16.5f) 3 weeks ago, albeit no match for winner. May do better still.

Form: 34-2

Moonlit Warrior²⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

7/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who was back to form when a close fourth at Chelmsford on final start in 2022. Left Michael Bell (43,000 gns) subsequently and he's an interesting hurdling debutant.

Form:

Eikendal Lady

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly

9/1

Milan mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Dubrovnik Harry, and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Knockmaole Boy. Makes appeal on paper and worth a market check.

Forecasts

Jeepydoff Meel (8/13), Gaius (11/4), St Patricks Bridge (4/1), Moonlit Warrior (7/1), Eikendal Lady (9/1), Last Mission (25/1), Topcliffe Boy (50/1), Smart Connection (125/1), Mop's A Legend (150/1), Gaughran (200/1)

JEEPYDOFF MEEL sets a clear standard and, with a return to further sure to suit, he's difficult to oppose. Gaius is progressing steadily and rates the main threat, ahead of hurdling debutant Moonlit Warrior.
