Easy winner sole start in Irish points and quickened clear in good style to land a 3-runner contest at Southwell last month. Clearly has more on his plate here but has plenty of potential.
|
Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Jubilympics and fair hurdler Pepite de Belle. Dam (h129) 2m-19f hurdle winner. Looks one for the longer term.
|
€12,000 3-y-o, €200,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Cavite Beta. Successful sole start in Irish points (Apr 2023). Takes the eye on paper and looks the one to beat.
|
Passing Glance gelding. Dam (h90), bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner (stayed 25f) Milans Man. Worth monitoring in the betting.
|
Brother to useful hurdler Anyharminasking and mild promise when fifth at Chepstow on debut, caught further back than ideal. Open to improvement 82 days on.
|
From a good family and belied huge odds to make a winning start over C&D a couple of months ago. This is a better race, but can't be ruled out under a penalty.
|
Made a winning debut at Ludlow and, while he struggled under a penalty at Wincanton since, he may yet do better, so not completely dismissed.
|
Wings of Eagles gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Kakamora and French 2¼m hurdle winner Ihaveauseforyou. Of obvious interest on debut.
|
Cheap purchase who didn't offer a great deal when down the field at Wincanton. Others make more appeal.
|
Fair form when fourth both starts to date but will need to up his game if he's to open his account in what looks a competitive event.
|
Related to a couple of winners and showed ability on debut. Didn't really build on that at Doncaster last time and has a bit to find.
|
Half-sister to 2 winners, including bumper winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Viva Devito. Didn't shape at all badly on debut when 12½ lengths third of 17 in the Newbury bumper and she's likely to improve for the experience.
|
Harzand filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Dion Baker. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 10.5f). One for shortlist on debut given connections.

Forecasts
Kingston Pride (8/11), Castle Ivers (9/2), Eagle's Quest (6/1), Tripoli Flyer (15/2), Habibi (25/1), Opera King (28/1), Naomhi (28/1), Lightning Flash (40/1), Ask Her Out (50/1), Infantryman (80/1), Spitfire Bridge (150/1), Jack Out Of Reach (150/1), Lord Of The Glance (150/1)
KINGSTON PRIDE was an expensive purchase on the back of a point win and, while this sort of speed test might not be ideal, he should have the ability to make a successful start under Rules. Castle Ivers is two from two (including a point) and looks an obvious danger, while Habibi is worthy of consideration following a positive start at Newbury.
