Placed in a point from plenty of attempts but not much encouragement in his Rules debut at Sedgefield a couple of months ago. Others preferred.
|
€72,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h111), 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3¼m) Martha Brae out of 19f-21f hurdle/chase winner Harringay. One to note.
|
Presenting gelding. Dam unraced sister to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (winner up to 21f) Oscar Whisky. Successful sole outing in Irish points (Jan 2023). From a good family and makes plenty of appeal on Rules debut.
|
Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 9 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut 83 days ago. Others make more appeal.
|
Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam placed in bumpers/well held sole start over hurdles. Interesting newcomer.
|
€135,000 3-y-o, Saint Des Saints gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler in France/Italy Champ de Bataille. Dam 2¼m hurdle winner in France. Very much one to consider.
|
Runner-up in a point bumper and there was some encouragement when fifth in a bumper at Cheltenham a couple of months ago. Will likely need to improve on that, however.
|
Cost £115,000 after winning his second of 2 starts in Irish points in the spring. Makes plenty of appeal for a leading stable with a strong bumper record.
|
Forecasts
Western Harmony (9/4), Super Saint (5/2), Barlovento (9/2), Barrabooka (7/1), The Northernlights (7/1), Jax Junior (12/1), Backbyjet (25/1), Grand Geste (33/1)
WESTERN HARMONY has been picked up by a top yard after winning a point and he's fancied to make a successful Rules debut at the possible expense of Super Saint, who makes plenty of appeal on paper. Barrabooka, another one that has won between the flags, is also worth considering.
