Runner-up on his completed outing in points but down the field both starts in maiden hurdles and it will surely be a similar story on qualifying run.

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.

Finished runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed plenty when third here on hurdles debut. Perhaps found race coming too soon at Uttoeter next time and he should still improve.

Telescope gelding. Held back by inexperience when sixth of 9 in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 10 months. More needed on hurdles debut.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| BF
Expensive purchase who is closely related to 2 winners, including smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Game, stays 21f. Held in a share of second when falling at the last on hurdles debut at Aintree back in May 2022 and absent since but he's presumably capable of a good deal better.

Well beaten in 2 bumpers during the spring and unseated rider on hurdles bow over C&D last month.

Cost £40,000 after finishing runner-up in a point in March and offered some encouragement when third in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut. Could step forward from that.

Left previous form well behind when going down narrowly in a Ffos Las novice (15.8f, heavy) earlier this month. Sets the standard on that effort.

Timeform
Fair performer at best but has looked badly out of sorts recently and he's hard to make a case for.
|
Timeform
Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles 6 months apart, so can't be recommended.

Forecasts

Barrabooka (9/4), Tedley (3/1), Dominic's Fault (4/1), Chatshow Tv (11/2), Nedzor (8/1), Cool View (14/1), Tip Top Tonto (20/1), Telefenney (33/1), Ballynaheer (50/1), Lunar Ocean (50/1)

Verdict

TEDLEY took a step forward when going down narrowly at Ffos Las last time and sets a clear benchmark on that performance. Point-winner Barrabooka is from the family of Oscar Whisky, so merits plenty of respect on Rules debut, with Chatshow Tv also considered returned to the scene of his promising debut.
