Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 2m. Made the most of a good opportunity when off the mark over hurdles in 10-runner novice over C&D 17 days ago and remains with potential.
|
Useful stayer on Flat. Yet to get near that level over hurdles but opened his account after 4 months off (from Flat) in 12-runner maiden at Fakenham (2m) 16 days ago and likely to be very competitive under a penalty.
|
Down the field in bumpers and major improvement needed on hurdles debut in a first-time hood.
|
Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam, little promise in bumpers, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Attribution. Pulled up sole start in points (May 31).
|
Looked a useful prospect when making a winning chase debut at Ludlow on final outing for Sam Thomas. Pulled up both starts over fences for new yard last season, though did show some ability remains back hurdling at Bangor last month.
|
Ocovango gelding. Dam made frame completed start in points. Last of 8 finishers sole start in Irish points (May 2023).
|
Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m, best effort in 2024 when second in handicap in April. No forlorn hope if taking to this new discipline.
|
Showed a bit when fifth of 9 in bumper (8/1) at Tipperary (18f, good to soft) on debut 40 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Grainne O'Connor.
|
Fair at best on Flat and offered little tried hurdling when eighth of 12 to Pleasant Man in maiden at Fakenham (16f, good) 16 days ago
|
Minor promise at best in bumpers and finished a long way behind Juan Bermudez on hurdling debut over C&D 17 days ago.
|
Forecasts
Juan Bermudez (5/6), Pleasant Man (3/1), Jazz King (4/1), Boundary Jack (18/1), Paddys Island (22/1), Runaway Bride (40/1), Flighttothestars (50/1), Stage Show (50/1), Simply Gorgeous (200/1), Elrondo (250/1)
JUAN BERMUDEZ was only workmanlike in making the most of a good opportunity over C&D 17 days ago, but is still relatively unexposed as a hurdler and gets the nod to follow up under a penalty. Pleasant Man is feared msot ahead of Jazz King, who showed some ability remains back in this sphere at Bangor last month.
- Pleasant Man3/1
- Jazz King4/1
