Fairly useful Flat winner who comes here fit from that sphere. Much respected now making his hurdles debut. Worth a market check.

Winning Irish pointer but yet to offer much in two runs over hurdles at Ludlow and Warwick. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Timeform
Fair form shown in bumpers and he made a promising start over hurdles when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 21 days ago. Should improve. Considered.

£40,000 5-y-o, Saint Des Saints gelding. Brother to 2 winners, and half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful French chaser Cri d'Amour and fairly useful French hurdler Golliath. Easily off mark in Irish points at third attempt (May 8) so he's a respected debutant.

Cost £46,000 after finishing second in an Irish point last spring. Fair form shown when in the frame in a pair of Huntingdon bumpers so one to consider now going hurdling.

Useful winner on Flat (stays 2m) for William Haggas. Changed hands for 45,000 gns and he's an interesting recruit to hurdling.

Debut winner of Hereford bumper in February and shaped with encouragement when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle there (19.7f, good) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Can build on it.

Fairly useful 10f Flat winner in France in 2021 and changed hands for €250,000 after. Only twice raced for current yard over hurdles since but showed promise after 21 months off when third of 6 in minor event here (21.2f, soft) 18 days ago. The form pick.

Fairly useful 10f winner on Flat for John Flint. Hood/tongue strap on for yard/hurdling debut and he can't be ruled out, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Easy winner on last of her three starts in Irish points in April and comfortably off the mark on bumper debut at Market Rasen in June. Needs considering on her hurdles debut.

Forecasts

The Famous Five (15/8), Nathanael Greene (9/4), Gentleman Jacques (5/1), Imperial Saint (13/2), Time Interval (15/2), Prairie Diamond (14/1), Mersey Street (22/1), The Gambler (50/1), Dusautior (50/1), Crystal Mer (80/1), Dundory (80/1), Bingo Little (150/1), Crossbeau (200/1), Ask Me Out (200/1), Whitehall Flyer (250/1), James Baie (300/1)

Verdict

THE FAMOUS FIVE has been very lightly raced for Venetia Williams since being bought for €250,000 but showed enough when a recent third here to suggest he can add to his two French Flat successes. Nathanael Greene was a useful winner in that sphere and is feared most now switched to hurdling, while Gentleman Jacques and debutants Dundory, Imperial Saint and Mersey Street need factoring in too.
