1/2

Added to bumper success when winning 6-runner novice (1/2) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) on hurdles bow 60 days ago, impressively. Sets the bar pretty high and likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 1/120-1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J G M O'Shea

18/1

Getaway gelding who has shown fairly useful form in bumpers but looked somewhat temperamental on latest outing 6 months ago. Now tries hurdling.

Form: 32-4

Global Esteem^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

6/1

Fairly useful 1m handicapper on Flat for John Gallagher. Better effort over hurdles when fourth in a novice at Kempton 16 days ago and still room for improvement in his jumping.

Form: 94

Grandmaster Flash^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| D

100/1

Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who hasn't offered much encouragement in two hurdling outings over C&D. Tried in a hood.

Form: 57

Jupiter And Mars^t1⁴³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

9/1

Dam half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stays 2¾m) Lossiemouth. Fair maiden on Flat, stays 7.5f, respectable fourth when last seen 14 months ago. Has left Ralph Beckett and starts out over hurdles for bang-in-form yard.

Form:

Martalite²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

100/1

€50,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Big price and no encouragement in a bumper at Newbury recently, so hard to make a case for on hurdling debut.

Form: 9

Mr Zee⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: M Blake

66/1

Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, at least as good as ever when third last time. Could make his presence felt if he takes to the new discipline.

Form:

Muskoka²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

7/2

Closely related to 3 winners and showed a fair level of ability in bumpers. Solid start to hurdling when third over C&D recently and should be on the premises.

Form: 76-53

Radharc Na Slaine¹⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: D A Rees

50/1

£7,500 6-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam (b82) lightly raced in bumpers. Maiden Irish pointer, third last time (May 21).

Form: 63U3-43

Bob O Rhino^h1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price

150/1

Winning Irish pointer who was too free when well held in a Warwick bumper and was pulled up in a C&D novice on hurdling bow. Hooded now, but makes no appeal.

Form: 5-10P

Inchiquin Spirit^t1⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph

125/1

Maiden Irish pointer who is yet to show anything over hurdles.

Form: 33P6-87

Forecasts

Casa No Mento (1/2), Muskoka (7/2), Global Esteem (6/1), Jupiter And Mars (9/1), Get The Value (18/1), Radharc Na Slaine (50/1), Mr Zee (66/1), Martalite (100/1), Grandmaster Flash (100/1), Inchiquin Spirit (125/1), Bob O Rhino (150/1)

CASA NO MENTO showed plenty in bumpers and made an impressive start over hurdles when scoring at Market Rasen a couple of months ago. She's the clear form pick and has more to offer, so she's preferred to Jupiter And Mars, who looks the pick of the hurdling debutants. Muskoka is also considered.
