From a good family and won a point but hard to make a case for following a tame Rules debut in a novice hurdle at Wincanton.
|
Unpromising in points and well held only outing in bumpers but offered a bit more sent hurdling when fifth of 15 in maiden at this course 49 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he builds on that.
|
Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and shaped with promise on the first of 2 outings in bumpers. Has also showed ability in a pair of starts over hurdles so far, finishing mid-field in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time, and he's open to improvement back down in grade.
|
Winning pointer who has made little impact under Rules and looks set for another struggle.
|
Cost £140,000 after finishing second in an Irish point but failed to beat a rival in 4-runner bumper at Chepstow 35 days ago. Upped markedly in trip for hurdling debut.
|
Successful on sole outing in points and promise both starts under Rules, runner-up in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time. Could do better still.
|
Runner-up sole start in Irish points last year and stepped forward from hurdling debut when third in novice at Wincanton 19 days ago. Not dismissed.
|
Showed fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 bumpers starts for Harry Whittington last season. Better effort over hurdles when third in novice at Ludlow 26 days ago and there's the scope for better still.
|
Won his sole start in points and shaped promisingly behind a pair of subsequent winners in a Warwick bumper in May. Placed both starts over hurdles and probably has an even bigger effort in him.
|
Cost £85,000 after finishing runner-up in his sole Irish point in April. Looked in need of experience in bumper at Ffos Las on debut for Paul Nicholls but recent hurdling bow at Chepstow was a lot more encouraging.
|
Got off the mark in Irish points at second attempt and posted a promising second of 10 in novice hurdle at Lingfield. Similar form when third at Catterick since but looks vulnerable to anything above average.
|
Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Wounded Warrior. Just modest form at best so far, so needs to up his game significantly.
|
Well beaten in bumpers and no promise as yet over hurdles. Unlikely to play a part.
|
Bought for plenty of money after finishing second in an Irish point but no impact as yet under Rules. Tongue tie/cheekpieces go on.
|
Little form over hurdles. Hard to make any sort of case for back from 2 years off.
|
Youmzain mare. Half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser Off You Go, stays 3m. Big price and pulled up at Hereford on hurdling debut, so hard to make a case for. Cheekpieces go on.

Forecasts
Ideal Des Bordes (7/4), Carrigmoorna Rowan (3/1), New Order (9/2), Largy Poet (5/1), El Granjero (11/1), He Knows Better (14/1), Galloping Pride (18/1), Sparkling Duke (100/1), Can't Say (125/1), Diagon Alley (150/1), Cloudy Flamingo (200/1), Ballywalter (200/1), Supreme Commander (250/1), Sparks May Fly (250/1), Zulu (250/1), Stancheski (300/1)
CARRIGMOORNA ROWAN's first two hurdling outings have been encouraging and this is clearly much easier than the race he finished sixth in at Cheltenham last time, so he's worth a chance to get off the mark at the expense of Ideal des Bordes, who has achieved a bit more to this point. Largy Poet also has potential.
