Best Life²⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley

33/1

€35,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Reigning Supreme. Dam (c95/h103) bumper/3m hurdle winner. Successful in point in April but subsequently disqualified.

Form: 41-

Samourai One²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: L Wadham

66/1

Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers but has been well held in a brace of novice hurdles 13 months apart. Needs this for a handicap mark.

Form: 236/7-7

Strackan²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: H D Daly

11/1

Bred to be stayer and has shaped accordingly in a bumper/maiden hurdle 7 months apart. Probably more one for handicaps a bit further down the line.

Form: 4-4

Take No Chances³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

2/1

Point winner who was placed on all 3 of her starts in bumpers last season and wasn't extended in making a successful transition to hurdles after 7 months off at Huntingdon (19.6f) 32 days ago. Sure to progress and win more races.

Form: 41/233-1

The Doyen Chief²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

1/2

Successful sole start in Irish points and followed up with a bit in hand in 9-runner bumper at Hereford in April. Looked a useful prospect in going down only narrowly on his Ludlow hurdles debut (21.2, soft) 4 weeks ago and sets a good standard on that form.

Form: F11-2

Forecasts

The Doyen Chief (1/2), Take No Chances (2/1), Strackan (11/1), The Breadman (20/1), Best Life (33/1), Samourai One (66/1)

THE DOYEN CHIEF looked a useful prospect in making the odds-on favourite pull out all the stops on his hurdling debut at Ludlow last month and is likely to take all the beating with improvement on the cards. Take No Chances impressed at Huntingdon and is the obvious threat.
