150/1

£1,500 3-y-o, Youmzain gelding. Half-brother to modest 3¼m chase winner Dangan des Champs and a point winner. Looked badly in need of the experience in a bumper last month.

Casting Aspersions^h1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: Noel Williams

33/1

Runner-up both completed starts in points. From the family of bumper winner/smart hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Davenport Milenium. Seventh in a bumper at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Up in trip with a hood fitted.

Form: 2/F27-

De Tellers Fortune²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/1

€32,000 3-y-o, £135,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Has an appealing pedigree and won between the flags in Ireland last year. Transferred to a top yard and showed much more than on Rules debut when fourth at Warwick 3 weeks ago.

Form: 1/P4-

Full Metal Jacket⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| BF

5/1

From a good family and filled the frame both starts in Irish bumpers last spring. Failed to meet market expectations when fifth on hurdles debut last month. Since left Emmet Mullins.

Impatient^t1²⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'NeillWS

6/4

Quite expensive as a store horse and showed plenty to work on when second in a Newcastle bumper in December 2022. Not in the same form at Ayr 4 months ago and hurdles debut in October was promising. Can build on that with a tongue tie on.

Form: 27/2-

Inside I'm Dancin²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Sheila Lewis

22/1

Third on debut at Wincanton last month and matched that form at Warwick 17 days later. More needed in novice company.

Typhoon Flyer^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R & J & J Insole| BF

7/2

Similar form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers, latest on British debut at Market Rasen. Can make presence felt now hurdling for in-form yard.

250/1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

Dartmouth gelding. Dam 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 27f). Bred to stay well but displayed enough speed to win 4-runner bumper at Chepstow in March.

Forecasts

Impatient (6/4), Dexterity (11/4), Typhoon Flyer (7/2), De Tellers Fortune (4/1), Full Metal Jacket (5/1), Devon Dude (10/1), Boyles Hill (10/1), Inside I'm Dancin (22/1), Milan Ac (25/1), Casting Aspersions (33/1), Timeforarum (125/1), Bold Yeoman (150/1), Olivia Kate (250/1), Pattern Cutter (250/1), Lady Harriett (250/1), Miss Arvico (300/1)

It took a while for connections to get DEXTERITY back to the track following his runner-up effort in a point but he displayed plenty of ability at Perth 3 weeks ago. Likely to build on that for his in-form yard, he looks the way to go. Impatient is probably the main danger of those with hurdles form, while Typhoon Flyer and Devon Dude warrant respect given their bumper form.
