Out of a winner and showed good deal of ability himself when second in 6-runner Hereford bumper on debut in February. Has failed to build on that since, though, and needs to get back on track now tackling hurdles.
|
Half-brother to 4 winners and almost certainly would've finished in the money had he not stumbled on debut in a Chepstow bumper in February. Wasn't knocked about on return/hurdles debut at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) last month but probably more one for handicaps later on.
|
Fair form in bumpers and placed both starts switched to hurdles, latterly finding just one too good in a 16-runner C&D (soft) maiden. Each-way should it able to build on that.
|
Uttoxeter bumper winner last term and looked set to be involved in the finish when jinking/unseating his rider 3 out on hurdles debut at Exeter in October. Creditable third of 14 in a pretty decent Taunton novice (16.5f, good to soft) next time and he remains with potential.
|
Well held on Rules debut in an Ascot bumper and fared no better on recent hurdles bow at Hereford.
|
Shaped quite well in a bumper on debut and has made the frame both starts in this sphere to date, namely a C&D novice and a Huntingdon maiden. Remains open to improvement and he's one to consider.
|
Big step forward at the second attempt over hurdles when runner-up in a Warwick novice (2m, heavy) last month. Likely to pick up a race soon enough and he's shortlisted.
|
Malinas gelding who hinted at promise when seventh of 17 in bumper at Kempton back in March. Also showed ability on hurdles debut return at Hereford but wasn't in the same form back there last time.
|
From a good family but hasn't shown enough in a couple of bumpers to suggest he'll be a force to contend with now switched to hurdles.
|
Fetched £62,000 as a 3-y-o but well held on debut in a bumper back in October 2021. Failed to complete both starts between the flags since and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Hood applied.
|
Hard to warm to based on what she's shown in a bumper here and Taunton novice hurdle.
|
In good hands but she'll need to leave the form of her debut effort in a Hereford bumper well behind in order to take a hand in the finish here. Yard also saddles Lindy Reilly.
|
£46,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara mare. Half-sister to fair 19f/2½m hurdle winner Dorisa Queen. Watch the betting for clues. Wears tongue strap.
|
Winning pointer but lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Posted one of her better efforts when third in an 8-runner Southwell handicap (15.8f, good) on latest start in May but this demands a chunk of improvement.

Forecasts
Go To War (4/6), Jour D'Evasion (16/5), Gentleman Jacques (9/2), Myfanwy's Magic (15/2), Saxons Lane (40/1), Lindy Reilly (50/1), Scrumpy (50/1), Duc Du Rene (80/1), My Virtue (100/1), Chevington (125/1), Top Of The Bay (200/1), Johns Dream (200/1), Kattegat (200/1), Special Dragon (250/1), Darquesse (300/1)
GO TO WAR didn't do much wrong when third to Ballee (winner again since) at Taunton and, with the strong likelihood of better to come, he is taken to strike. Myfanwy's Magic and Jour d'Evasion can fill the places, while Gentleman Jacques is also accorded respect.
