Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson

125/1

Unplaced sole start in Irish points and little to shout about in 3 starts under Rules last year.

Form: 860/7-

Full Monty²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

5/4

Left hurdles debut form behind when second of 10 in novice (14/1) at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) 23 days ago. Likely more to come yet.

Form: 47-82

Jtadore De Forgan⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

200/1

Finished last of 12 in novice hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) on NH debut 7 days ago. Up in trip. Can only be watched.

Form: P/4U-0

Killard Point⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford

40/1

€32,500 3-y-o, Kitkou gelding. Dam 17f hurdle winner in France, also 1½m winner on Flat. Off mark in points at sixth attempt (May 26). Betting should prove a useful guide on Rules/hurdles debut.

Form: PP22-51

Release The Kraken^v⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 80

11/2

Posted best effort for a while when fourth in Southwell handicap hurdle (24.3f) last month. More on plate here but can make presence felt again.

Form: PP/P4-24

Top Man Tom^v1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

7/1

Off the mark between the flags in April but no real impact in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot on NH debut 23 days ago, going in snatches. Visor now tried.

Form: UPU1-35

Upthereforthinking^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: J Coulson| OR: 107

9/1

Showed some ability over hurdles in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell, latest when respectable fourth of 10 in novice (7/2) at Sligo (17.4f, good) 21 days ago. Since joined new yard and enters calculations with Brian Hughes booked.

Form: 466F-04

East Eagle^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby

50/1

Merely matched previous form, on debut for new yard, when fourth of 9 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good) last month and will need to improve to take a hand on hurdling bow.

Form: 5-54

Tyson Magoo⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

12/1

€7,500 3-y-o, £33,000 4-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Shantou Bob. Third in sole points start in April and is worth monitoring in market on Rules debut.

Form: 3-

Flexi Lady²¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas

150/1

Just poor form at best in 3 bumpers and a novice hurdle. Off 7 months. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 9/858-

Lucky Rose¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Noel Williams

11/2

Fair in bumpers and showed a bit more than on debut in this sphere when fourth of 9 in Warwick novice (19f, heavy) in January. Likely a longer-term prospect, though.

Form: 244/54-

Smugglers Haven⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: S Bradstock| D

12/1

Went backwards from promising hurdling debut when pulled up at Chepstow in April and is tough to assess at present.

Form: 1/3P-

Granny Smith²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

28/1

Unplaced on her sole outing in points and only minor promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers in recent weeks. Probably best watched on switch to hurdling.

Form: 460

Forecasts

Full Monty (5/4), Moonset (11/4), Lucky Rose (11/2), Release The Kraken (11/2), Top Man Tom (7/1), Upthereforthinking (9/1), Smugglers Haven (12/1), Tyson Magoo (12/1), Granny Smith (28/1), Killard Point (40/1), East Eagle (50/1), Even Break (125/1), Flexi Lady (150/1), Jtadore De Forgan (200/1)

FULL MONTY upped his game when second at Newton Abbot earlier this month and remains low mileage. He can open his account. Moonset and Upthereforthinking rate the principal dangers.
