£15,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Green Glory, stays 2¾m. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time out winner on paper and will only be of interest if the market vibes are notably upbeat.
|
Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Gamesters Icon. Dam fair winner around 2m over hurdles, also winner up to 1½m on Flat. Represents an in-form yard and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
|
Fetched £50,000 after winning his sole start between the flags in March, and that form has substance (the runner-up has since won 4 times under Rules). Lots to like and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Irish point runner-up offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen for Michael Scudamore during the spring. Stepped up on that when runner-up on debut for new yard at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) last month and he's a strong candidate.
|
Out of a 1¾m bumper winner/2m hurdle winner who stayed 21f. Yard boasts a decent strike rate in bumpers and he's one to note in the betting.
|
Made the frame both starts in Irish maiden points late last year. Ought to have a future under Rules but one suspects that he'll come into his own a little further down the line.
|
€72,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Findthetime. Appealing type on paper and the market should point the way in terms of expectations of this 5-y-o.
|
€9,500 3-y-o, Workforce gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Man At Work, and half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Timeforben. Hooded for this debut, which is a slight concern, and others make more appeal in any case.

Forecasts
Pleasington (5/4), Kandor (7/2), Matthias (11/2), Gamesters Guy (15/2), Moonset (12/1), Jo Arengeot Bey Aa (14/1), Billy Butcher (16/1), The Grafter (33/1)
It will be interesting to see how the betting shapes up. As things stand, JO ARENGEOT BEY AA is the most appealing, with the form of his point success boosted by the subsequent exploits of the runner-up, who has won four of his six starts over fences this summer. Pleasington is every inch a likely type on paper and is feared most ahead of Kandor, who was probably flattered by his proximity to the winner at Hexham but is respected nonetheless. .
- Pleasington5/4
- Kandor7/2
