Seaside Legend²⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: P F NichollsWS

7/2

Adlerflug gelding who had had a breathing operation prior to his debut and shaped as if the run was needed when runner-up at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 12 months ago. Bled at Fontwell back in February and has had another wind op prior to this reappearance. Might be vulnerable.

150/1

Creachadoir gelding who shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggested when well held on debut at Worcester (16f, soft) 5 weeks ago, dropping away tamely in the straight. Easy to look elsewhere.

150/1

Ask mare. Dam point winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3m) Meister Eckhart (by Flemensfirth). Wouldn't be an obvious winner of a AW bumper first time up on paper.

Form:

By The Grace¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/2

Blue Bresil filly who showed plenty of ability only to be held back by inexperience when finishing runner-up at Southwell (15.8f, good) 6 months ago, just lacking the gear change of the experienced winner. Every chance she can go one better on return.

Form: 2

50/1

Pour Moi filly. Half-sister to useful chaser Tile Tapper, stays 4¼m, and fair hurdler Hot Ryan, stayed 3¼m. Dam 23f chase winner. Wears tongue strap. Stacks of stamina in her pedigree.

7/4

Kendargent mare. Half-sister to 8.6f-1¼m winner Hector's Here. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Both of yard's 2 bumper runners in the last 5 seasons won so she's of firm interest starting out here.

Forecasts

Solid Silver (7/4), Seaside Legend (7/2), The Glen Rovers (4/1), By The Grace (9/2), I'd Go Maniac (13/2), Minella Miracle (33/1), Fixed Wing (33/1), Dropitlikeitshot (50/1), Elyssia (125/1), Ask Her Out (150/1), Wonder King (150/1), She's A Lady (150/1), D'ambonnay (250/1), Inspector Maigret (250/1)

BY THE GRACE showed plenty first time up at Southwell in May and this looks a good chance for her to get off the mark. Newcomers Solid Silver and I'd Go Maniac are interesting alternatives.
