Rockstown Girl^t1⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽³⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 114

14/1

Fair hurdler who has already got her head in front this season. Below form both starts since, though putting in a tame display at Sligo a couple of months ago. Needs to get back on track if she's to compete.

Form: 7/26-143

Dameofthecotswolds¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105

9/2

Bumper winner who has shown fair form over hurdles and got off the mark in this sphere in workmanlike style at Plumpton 19 days ago. Looks vunerable under a penalty.

Form: 22-5421

Cherry Brave¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Fergus Gillard| T: D Skelton

14/1

£26,000 5-y-o, third foal, dam (h105), bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 25f) Teescomponents Lad and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stays 21f) Teescomponentsyess. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and has joined a leading yard.

Form: 21-

Hill Of Scarriff¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

66/1

£34,000 5-y-o, Schiaparelli mare. Dam unraced, out of sister to high-class chaser (2m-3m winner) Function Dream, herself dam of top-class chaser Captain Chris. Successful on her sole outing in Irish points in May. With top yard so she's a player on her first go over hurdles.

Form: 1

Longhouse Legacy^h²⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

14/1

Cost £175,000 after getting off the mark in Irish points and bettered previous bumper efforts when second at Huntingdon 6 months ago. Should take to this discipline.

Form: P15/42-

Missy Mole¹⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

50/1

£34,000 5-y-o, Getaway mare. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Apr 28). Deserves some respect based on connections.

Form: F2-

My Louise²¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards

18/1

Made a winning debut in a Fontwell bumper and took a marked step forward to follow up in a stronger contest at Lingfield. Came up short in listed company at Sandown 7 months ago and might need the experience first time over hurdles.

Form: 118-

Regatta De Blanc^t¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 121

4/6

Unbeaten pointer who made a successful hunter debut at Taunton in January. Bettered that when second to a useful sort at Newbury in March and easily resumed winning ways at Cheltenham in April. Intriguing contender for new stable switched to hurdling.

Form: 1/1112-1

Royal Malinas^h1⁶⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans

200/1

Dam, maiden on Flat, closely related to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Nicanor: Third both starts in Irish points in late-2022. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form: 33/

Sanda Rena³¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: J & A O'Neill| BF

28/1

£150,000 purchase after winning an Irish point last December and finished third on Rules debut in a bumper here in March. Signs of aptitude over hurdles for Ben Pauling but liable to need this first stable outing after 10 months off.

Form: 13/63-

Sheeka Supreme⁷⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris

80/1

£170,000 4-y-o: second foal: dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2½m) Whoshotthesheriff: Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Oct 2022). Interesting Rules newcomer despite the lengthy absence.

Form: 221/

Springs A Girl^h1²⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley

50/1

Half-sister to a bumper winner and off the mark at the first attempt at Listowel last September but failed to kick on for new yard and may need this hurdling debut after 9 months off.

Form: 109-

Arctic Angel¹⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

50/1

Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 19f/2f hurdle winner The Doyen Chief. Something to work on when third at Newton Abbot in a bumper 4 months ago and should take to this sphere.

Form: 3

Fireball Frenzy¹⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

9/1

€31,000 3-y-o, £70,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cyclop. Won sole start in Irish points (Apr 21). One to consider for all that he's bred to do better over further in time.

Form: 1-

Formel Park¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams

200/1

Related to 4 winners and better effort in bumpers when third at Southwell 4 months ago. Might need this initial hurdling education, though.

Form: 0-3

Pismo Beach¹²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

100/1

Fourth in a point and has hinted at promise in bumpers. Upped in trip for hurdling debut after 4 months off but this is a big ask.

Form: 4F-6

Forecasts

Regatta De Blanc (4/6), Dameofthecotswolds (9/2), Fireball Frenzy (9/1), Rockstown Girl (14/1), Cherry Brave (14/1), Longhouse Legacy (14/1), My Louise (18/1), Sanda Rena (28/1), Missy Mole (50/1), Arctic Angel (50/1), Springs A Girl (50/1), Hill Of Scarriff (66/1), Sheeka Supreme (80/1), Pismo Beach (100/1), Royal Malinas (200/1), Formel Park (200/1)

REGATTA DE BLANC has made an interesting switch from Will Biddick to Paul Nicholls having created a good impression in both points and bumpers and he's worth a chance to make a successful debut for this top yard. Cherry Brave has showed something between the flags and looks a threat, while Rockstown Girl could play a hand if back on song after a break.
