Tommy Time¹⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| BF

7/2

Made a winning debut at Kilbeggan in April. Left Lorna Fowler subsequently and raced too freely at Newcastle on first go for this stable. Worth another chance back from 140 days off.

Form: 1-4

Fairly Fulling¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs J Walton

125/1

€2,000 3-y-o, Arcadio gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Tranquil Sea and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Duarigle. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, pulled up latest (May 20). Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: F-P

Milochello

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

11/2

Ocovango gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Native Stag. Worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Pictou Lodge

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven

3/1

€19,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Dolphin Square and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Game of War. Dam ran once over hurdles/once in bumper. Interesting newcomer on paper.

Form:

Hang On¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

50/1

Out of a bumper winner but little encouragement at Newcastle on debut. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9

Hypersonic Missile⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell

5/4

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in bumper at Sligo (18.5f, good to soft, 2/1) 41 days ago, no match for winner. Should go well on British debut.

Form: 1-52

Bear Ridge^h1¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J Mackie

28/1

Hinted at ability when sixth in a Southwell bumper 141 days ago. New yard tries a hood, so could improve.

Form: 6

Ourlittleprincess¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: K Brogan| T: P Neville

100/1

Out of a winning hurdler but failed to beat a rival at Kelso on debut recently. Will need to step up markedly on that if she's to feature.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Hypersonic Missile (5/4), Pictou Lodge (3/1), Tommy Time (7/2), Milochello (11/2), Melton Mossy (14/1), Bear Ridge (28/1), Hang On (50/1), Ourlittleprincess (100/1), Fairly Fulling (125/1)

TOMMY TIME was a bit underwhelming on his stable debut but the form of his win prior to that is comfortably the best on offer, so he's worth another chance. Pictou Lodge's pedigree catches the eye and he's likely to feature along with Hypersonic Missile.
