Prairie Diamond²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| D

9/2

Well backed and the confidence was justified when winning 6-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on NH debut, running on. Off 7 months and more needed under a penalty.

Form: 1-

Yogi's Trail

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard

33/1

Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Chickapeakray and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Classic Chic.

Form:

Bahio Boum

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/2

Buck's Boum gelding. Half-brother to French hurdle/chase winner up to 2½m Bahiosun and French hurdler Little Bahia. Dam (c122/h109) French 17f-19f hurdle/chase winner. Newcomer for top yard so demands respect.

Form:

Hutcheson^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen

28/1

£2,000 New Approach gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 7 winners on Flat, including smart 5f-7f winner Final Song. Tongue tied and heavily backed on debut 18 days ago, only to show very little. Drying ground may help his cause.

Form: 8

Stungbythemaster

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

4/1

Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam (h100), bumper winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Wildebeest. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Form:

The Eventmaster^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

2/1

Settled much better with a hood fitted when second of 7 in bumper (8/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 27 days ago. That form puts him right in the mix.

Form: 42

Shirley Knott^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West

14/1

Tongue strap fitted on first run since leaving Tom Lacey when third of 8 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good, 50/1) 25 days ago.

Form: 4-3

Basman Palace^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray

12/1

Tongue strap on and sent off a huge price having had a wind op but debut fifth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot wasn't devoid of promise.

Form: 5

Forecasts

The Eventmaster (2/1), Bahio Boum (7/2), Stungbythemaster (4/1), Prairie Diamond (9/2), Harbour Bridge (6/1), Basman Palace (12/1), Shirley Knott (14/1), Hutcheson (28/1), Yogi's Trail (33/1)

Those with experience set a fair standard but BAHIO BOUM and Stungbythemaster are newcomers for very powerful yards and either may well be up to the task, Marginal preference is for the Dan Skelton-trained runner. The Eventmaster should be on the premises.
