€6,000 3-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fair hurdler Payngo, stayed 3m. Didn't show much in 3 starts between the flags last spring, however.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) and is a half-brother to useful hurdler Pilansberg. Still, he will need to step on his first 2 efforts in this sphere in order to play a leading role here. Hood applied.
|
Showed only poor form in a pair of bumpers and it was much the same in maiden hurdles at Southwell and Taunton during the winter. Best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Lantic Bay.
|
Made the frame on plenty of occasions when trained in Ireland and has shown ability both completed starts on these shores, too. Has undergone a wind op and he's one of the more likely winners.
|
Useful sort on Flat and produced a step forward from his hurdles debut when second of 12 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in December. However, efforts on the level the last twice have been poor.
|
Dream Eater gelding. Dam winning pointer/runner-up sole start over fences. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers but he's worth a second look in the betting all the same.
|
Poor maiden who was pulled up for the fourth time in his last 5 starts (all over fences) at Warwick at the end of March. Looks set for another struggle back hurdling, unless the addition of blinkers have a profound effect.
|
Half-brother to bumper winner Lady Valerie and represents a strong yard that can ready one first-time-out. Watch the betting for clues.
|
Bagged a 1½m Doncaster handicap for Marcus Tregoning in April 2021 but below par when last seen in June of that year. Wellbeing has to be taken on trust ahead of this hurdles debut for new connections.
|
Went the wrong way following promising debut second for the Gosdens on the Flat at Kempton. Failed to make much of an impact on hurdles debut at Bangor, though, and subsequently gelded.

Forecasts
Evenwood Sonofagun (1/2), Kenzai Warrior (3/1), Baileys Derbyday (12/1), Thrifty Scot (14/1), Sobegrand (33/1), Valparaiso (33/1), Blazing Court (40/1), Ascension Day (40/1), Lantic Bay (50/1), Nyoufsea (200/1)
EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN and Kenzai Warrior have both shown more than enough ability to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within reach. Marginal preference is for the former, who should come on for his reappearance spin over C&D last month. Newcomer Thrifty Scot is one to note in the betting.
