5/6
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.

3/1
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.

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.

50/1
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.

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)

Verdict

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.
