Billy Boi Blue^t⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 116

7/2

Fairly useful bumper winner last season. Much better effort over hurdles this term when 5 lengths second of 13 over 21f at Kempton last time. Another prominent showing is on the cards.

Form: 2/517-42

Electric Jet⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| BF

12/1

Runner-up on the first of his 2 starts in maiden points last spring. Couldn't justify favouritism but still made a solid start to his Rules career when third of 10 in 2½m novice hurdle at Sedgefield in November. Open to progress.

Form: 25-3

Genietoile³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 115

7/4

Point winner who showed promise on the first of 2 outings in Ffos Las bumpers last term. Fair form on all 3 outings over hurdles this time round and likely to be competitive here.

Form: 1/45-548

How And Ever^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy

12/1

Has shown a bit in a bumper/novice hurdle but probably won't be of interest this side of handicaps.

Form: 2-67

Katate Dori^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| BF

6/4

Struck at the third time of asking in bumpers at Market Rasen last March. Has run to only a modest level in 2 novice hurdles this term (beaten 23 lengths when third latterly) but his bumper ability provides the hope for better at some point.

Form: 421-83

Lubenham Dream²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

200/1

In good hands but well beaten in a Catterick bumper on last month's debut.

Form: 0

Nelson Criq³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

18/1

Has shown ability in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles but he might be more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 5-47

The Dark Edge²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B Roberts⁽⁵⁾| T: C E Longsdon

150/1

Looks more one for the longer term judged on his efforts in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle this season.

Form: 975

The Winslow Boy²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

100/1

12/1, fifth of 8 in bumper at Bangor (17f, good to firm) on debut last spring. Likely best watched switched to hurdles on return.

Form: 5-

A Wish Away⁵¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: M Keighley

200/1

Well held in 2 outings on the Flat for Anthony Honeyball in summer 2022.

Shibuya Song³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: R T Phillips

200/1

Fair Flat winner at peak but only modest in that sphere lately and sent off at 150/1 when unseating at third on last month's C&D hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Katate Dori (6/4), Genietoile (7/4), Billy Boi Blue (7/2), Juventus De Brion (7/2), Stay If U Want To (6/1), How And Ever (12/1), Electric Jet (12/1), Nelson Criq (18/1), The Winslow Boy (100/1), The Dark Edge (150/1), Lubenham Dream (200/1), Shibuya Song (200/1), A Wish Away (200/1), Jaunty Belle (250/1)

JUVENTUS DE BRION made a promising start to his career for his top yard when third at Exeter last month and can build on that and strike at the second time of asking. Kempton runner-up Billy Boi Blue and Market Rasen bumper winner Stay If U Want To head the dangers along with Charlie Longsdon's Electric Jet.
