Ipso Falco²¹¹

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

18/1

Falco gelding. Dam, French chase winner up to 25f, half-sister to French chase winner up to 25f Hawkso and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 4m) Interdit. Bred to stay well and shaped that way starting out at Southwell in November.

Form: 8-

My Fernando^h⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

15/2

Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Brother to 7.4f winner Yorbelucky. Dam, 9f/1¼m winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) I'm So Lucky and useful hurdler (2m winner) Dream Esteem. Promise when third in a C&D bumper for Ian Williams a year ago but disappointed in a hood last month.

Form: 3-8

Olivers Travels⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

9/4

£30,000 5-y-o, first foal: dam (b80), placed once in bumpers, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 3¼m) Sporting Ace. Runner-up sole start in Irish points in April and joined a successful yard.

Form: 2-

Storm Ryder^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

10/1

Half-brother to 5 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Brewin'upastorm (2m-2½m winner) and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Glam Gerry (2½m/21f winner, by Dr Massini). Dam unraced. Hood fitted on debut for yard with a fair record in bumpers.

Form:

Footloose Man²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: R Hobson

6/1

€34,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful bumper winner/hurdler The Liquidator. Dam fair but ungenuine 19f-3¼m hurdle/chase winner. Reasonable start when second of 4 in what was admittedly an ordinary contest. Can build on that.

Form: 2

Junior Des Mottes⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: C Brace| T: D Brace

5/2

Kept on well for third on debut at Wexford in March and fared as well as could be expected in a deeper contest at Fairyhouse a month later. Since left W.J.Burke and a repeat of that level will see him bang there.

Form: 37-

Ted's Gift³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

17/2

Scorpion gelding. Dam unraced. Stuck to his task pretty well when third of 8 over C&D last month.

Form: 3

Call Her Clever^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

18/1

:€2,200 3-y-o, Califet mare. Dam fair hurdler (21f winner, stayed 3m). Hood/tongue tie on for debut and she shaped like a stayer when fourth over C&D last month (behind Ted's Gift).

Form: 4

Jeudidee²¹

Weight: 11-2| Age: 4

T: K Bailey & M Nicholls J: David Bass

Forecasts

Olivers Travels (9/4), Junior Des Mottes (5/2), Jeudidee (3/1), Footloose Man (6/1), My Fernando (15/2), Ted's Gift (17/2), Storm Ryder (10/1), Call Her Clever (18/1), Ipso Falco (18/1)

JEUDIDEE had a bit in hand when justifying strong support at Warwick 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, he may well be capable of defying a penalty. Junior des Mottes is dangerous if he can reproduce his Irish form for his new yard, with Olivers Travels another to consider on Rules debut.
