11/10

Won a point bumper and also successful in a conventional one under Rules on second start for this yard at Newton Abbot in July. This looks a good opening switched to hurdling upped in trip.

Form: 5/1-521

Hollywood Harmon¹⁰⁰

22/1

£1,000 6-y-o, first foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Bob Lingo and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Talk The Lingo. Unplaced completed starts in Irish points, fourth last time (May 21).

Form: F7-74

Impression Chic⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson

17/2

£26,000 buy after finish runner-up on her completed start in points (Feb 5). Didn't achieve a great deal on hurdles debut in June (2m) and now upped in trip.

Form: P2-6

Princess Priya⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys

66/1

Modest in bumpers but lightly raced and limited impact both hurdles starts for this yard.

Form: 465/9-7

Sunday Soldier²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

11/2

Verging on fair in bumpers in Ireland but nowhere near that level both starts over hurdles.

Form: 752-346

Jolie Baie^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 82

15/8

More like it when second over C&D last month but it wasn't a strong race from her lowly mark. Can be a factor with a repeat.

Form: 053-442

Forecasts

Fountainspinklady (11/10), Jolie Baie (15/8), Sunday Soldier (11/2), Impression Chic (17/2), Hollywood Harmon (22/1), Princess Priya (66/1)

Bumper-winner FOUNTAINSPINKLADY is bred to relish this trip and in truth, she could hardly have been found a weaker race for hurdles debut. Jolie's Baie's limitations are well established but a repeat of her effort in handicap company over C&D will see her thereabouts.
