All The Glory^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113

15/2

Showed improved form when winning novices at Hexham and Market Rasen on her first 2 starts this season. Hasn't managed to build on those efforts since, but had plenty on under a double penalty when fourth at Hereford 27 days ago. Respected in a thin race.

Form: 2-11224

Honore³⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

400/1

Down the field in 2 bumpers and has failed to complete both starts over hurdles so far. Plenty to prove after a long absence.

Form: 0/6FP-

Jimmy Boy^p⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: James Owen| OR: 110

33/1

Fair maiden hurdler who jumped poorly on debut for this stable in a novice at Huntingdon 41 days ago. Something to prove.

Form: 503F64

Kruger Park¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls

16/1

From a good family and shaped with encouragement when third in a Hereford bumper on debut in December. Disappointing next 2 outings and well held on hurdling/seasonal debut at Warwick 13 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 35P-9

Shanagh Bob³⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

2/9

€10,000 3-y-o, £200,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam (h73), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/modest chaser (stayed 2¾m) Lahib The Fifth. Easily won sole start in Irish points. Has been found a weak-looking novice for hurdling debut.

Form: 1-

Flidais²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Daniel King⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 103

10/1

Landed a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (18.3f, good to soft) in June. Has failed to build on that since, but made a bit more impact when second in a novice over 15.9f here last month.

Form: 447662

Forecasts

Shanagh Bob (2/9), All The Glory (15/2), Flidais (10/1), Kruger Park (16/1), Jimmy Boy (33/1), Honore (400/1)

SHANAGH BOB has been picked up by top connections after readily winning an Irish point and this looks an excellent opportunity to make a successful Rules debut. All The Glory is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines and Flidais isn't completely ruled out.
