Form: 2-F2

Jafimgoso⁹³

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

7/1

Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam fairly useful 2m/2½m hurdle winner. Didn't seem to be fancied and no more than hinted at ability on debut at Newbury (18/1) 3 months ago, only briefly threatening to get involved.

£8,500 3-y-o, £8,500 4-y-o, Norse Dancer gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Steal My Sunshine.

Super Saint³⁰

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

16/5

Cost a bit and produced a promising first effort amid inexperience in Taunton bumper last month, not knocked about. Can progress for top yard and leading claims.

Form: 4

Chief Sunday⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

25/1

€75,000 buy from good French family but failed to justify support on debut over C&D 7 weeks ago, no response home turn. Improvement needed.

Form: 7

One Knight

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes

10/3

Sir Percy gelding. Dam dual bumper winner/useful hurdler (winner up to 21f). Yard does well in bumpers and he's one to note.

Form:

River Rider

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: T H Weston

25/1

Ol' Man River gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Couleur France.

Forecasts

Doctor Midas (9/4), Super Saint (16/5), One Knight (10/3), Our Jesse Boy (5/1), Casting Aspersions (6/1), Jafimgoso (7/1), Nowmelad (7/1), River Rider (25/1), Chief Sunday (25/1), Luwdvig (28/1), Ligety (33/1), Sir Rodney (100/1), Ocean Frontier (150/1)

DOCTOR MIDAS is interesting on debut and gets the vote before market clues. Super Saint made a promising start at Taunton and should go close if improving, while One Knight, out of a classy mare who won the listed Warwick Mares' Hurdle, is another to note first time up.
