Ace Of Spades²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/4

Better effort when second at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago, still learning. Well bred and could figure if stepping up his form again.

Form: 52

Bridie's Beau³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

11/2

€65,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam useful 2¼m/2½m hurdle winner. 9/2, shaped well when second in Taunton bumper on debut last month. More to come and leading claims.

Form: 2

Junker D'allier¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| BF

10/1

Encouraging start having finished second in a couple of Ayr bumpers (well backed on debut, beaten a nose). Might be vulnerable now.

Form: 22

Millsbridge

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K Brogan| T: A Wintle

125/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam 23f-3½m chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) The Nipper.

Form:

Moran's Law

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

8/1

Universal gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Wye Aye out of useful but headstrong 2m hurdle winner A Media Luz. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Palacio^t¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S ThomasWS

9/1

Half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart hurdler/top-class chaser Whisper and smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Chuchoteuse. 5/1 and tongue tied, dropped away tamely on debut at Exeter in November. Not seen since and has had a breathing operation.

Form: 9

Rogue Bull²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins

200/1

From a good family and there was some ability on show when fifth at Huntingdon (well backed) on debut for Tom Clover in November 2022. Sold cheaply and no show back there 17 months on, though.

Form: 5-8

The Two Harrys³⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Derham

10/3

€75,000 buy from the family of useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Publican. Not unbacked and showed some ability amidst inexperience when third on debut at Wincanton a year ago. First 2 home are decent hurdlers now, but he may need this. Check the betting.

Form: 3-

Bredon Hill⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| BF

10/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdle winner/smart chaser Magic Daze and bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Magic Seven. Favourite and showed ability on debut at Kempton 6 weeks ago, at times not looking all that tractable. May do better.

Form: 8

Desiderata³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter

250/1

Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Little Awkward. 6/1, made a discouraging start in Southwell bumper last month.

Forecasts

Ace Of Spades (9/4), The Two Harrys (10/3), Bridie's Beau (11/2), Moran's Law (8/1), Palacio (9/1), Junker D'allier (10/1), Bredon Hill (10/1), Welcheston Warrier (11/1), Bridgewalton (14/1), Flimsy Nosebag (25/1), Millsbridge (125/1), Banny Hill Lass (150/1), Rogue Bull (200/1), Desiderata (250/1)

BRIDIE'S BEAU made a very promising start when second at Taunton last month and might be hard to beat with improvement on the way. Ace of Spades could have one of these in him, while Moran's Law is an interesting newcomer.
