Louis Roederer Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:21 | Winning time: 5m 29.4s

Boomslang³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 106

11/10

Has made a good return with solid runner-up efforts at Hexham and over C&D, not far off running the favourite down after that one's burst to the front here last time. Strong claims.

Form: 23PP-22

Prince Imperial^t,p²³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 105

6/1

Fair maiden hurdler with plenty of placed efforts to his name. Can go well if staying this new trip on first run for 7 months.

Form: 348/330-

Skyjack Hijack²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

11/2

Improved on his hurdling debut form after 7 months off when second at Southwell, rallying near the finish. Capable of winning races on that showing and tackles longer trip here.

Form: 3/7-2

The Jeweller's Pet¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: I A Duncan

33/1

In the frame twice in points but well held in 2 Perth hurdles in recent weeks. Upped further in trip now.

Form: F/643-65

Tumble Tumbleweed²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: J Candlish

125/1

Half-brother to modest chaser O Mio Babbino. 80/1, offered little in Southwell novice hurdle 3 weeks ago. Up in trip.

Form: 8

You Will Be Found³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton

150/1

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Brewers Project (winner around 2m, by Aizavoski). Placed completed start in Irish points, pulled up last time (May 26).

Form: PP3-P

Chief O'Hara⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell

11/2

16/1, fared best of the newcomers when fifth in 19f Kilbeggan bumper on debut 6 weeks ago. Longer trip will suit on hurdles bow and has Sean Bowen up.

Form: 5

Shantou Champagne³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

11/1

Understandably looked very rusty on last month's hurdles debut here having been absent nearly 3 years since placed in a couple of bumpers. This could reveal more.

Form: 722/4

Sky Luna³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt

9/1

From the family of smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Bishops Road. Off mark in Irish points at ninth attempt (beat sole other finisher), May 26. Makes belated hurdles debut but yard's runners here always worth a look.

Form: 23PP-21

Forecasts

Boomslang (11/10), Skyjack Hijack (11/2), Chief O'Hara (11/2), Prince Imperial (6/1), Sky Luna (9/1), Wholly Boley (10/1), Shantou Champagne (11/1), The Jeweller's Pet (33/1), Tumble Tumbleweed (125/1), You Will Be Found (150/1)

BOOMSLANG has gone close in 2 runs over C&D and can get the job done this time. Prince Imperial has races in him in this sphere, while Chief O'Hara is worth a look on his hurdles debut.
