Supremely West³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: R & J & J Insole| OR: 121| D

5/4

Unbeaten in bumpers and bright start over hurdles in recent months, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in a Sedgefield novice (19.8f) last month. Double penalty to carry but he can leave bare form behind.

Form: 111-211

Bugise Seagull²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: C E Longsdon

9/5

£95,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 2022). Took a year to get back to the track but he looked a nice prospect when landing 15-runner novice at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Open to plenty of progress.

High Treason²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| BF

7/2

From a good family and made a positive start when second in a Ffos Las bumper. Unable to build on that when third at Chepstow 8 months ago but this step up in trip is sure to suit now hurdling.

Forecasts

Supremely West (5/4), Bugise Seagull (9/5), High Treason (7/2), Thank You Blue (4/1), Just In A Bit (14/1), The Breadman (125/1), Willwekeephim (400/1)

BUGISE SEAGULL was well prepared following a year off the track when winning at Catterick 3 weeks ago and, with the promise of more to come, the 4 lb he receives from Supremely West may prove decisive. High Treason is bred to relish this trip now hurdling and he commands respect, too.
