2/1

Fair maiden on the level for Andrew Balding. Landed 4-runner juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on debut in this sphere in March. Has matched rather than bettered that form since.

Form: 19-32

Foxwood³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: G Bewley

20/1

Found only one too good in a Catterick bumper on debut in February but little to shout about since, failing to take to hurdling so far.

Form: 26-F97

One Of Us Is Lying^b1,t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Harvey⁽³⁾| T: N McCluskey

50/1

Unpromising in points and was well held in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on Rules debut 44 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: P-P0

Park Annonciade^t⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

4/11

Went the wrong way in bumpers but made a promising hurdling debut when second in 11-runner maiden at Sligo (17.6f, good, 33/1) 49 days ago. collared close home. Should improve and has outstanding claims.

Form: 59-72

Gold Terms⁶²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: H Burns

150/1

Never a threat in maiden sole start on Flat for Grant Tuer. Makes hurdles debut after 20 months off and most likely best watched.

Form:

Solway Staree¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison

Little show in 3 bumpers/novice hurdle.

Forecasts

Park Annonciade (4/11), Ve Day (2/1), Foxwood (20/1), One Of Us Is Lying (50/1), Solway Staree (80/1), Gold Terms (150/1)

PARK ANNONCIADE got his career firmly back on track sent hurdling when nabbed by a stronger stayer right at the death at Sligo in June and this is an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Ve Day is the obvious one to follow him home.
