Off time: 16:08 | Winning time: 4m 18.93s

Saint Cyr De Pail¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

40/1

£28,000 buy from good French NH family and built on debut to land 5-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good) 180 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 61-

Fan Magnet⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis

250/1

Twice-raced maiden for Stuart Crawford, fifth of 9 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 99 days ago. Much respected on his yard/hurdles debut.

Form: U5

Hartington¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

11/1

Promising third of 15 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft, 18/1) on his hurdles bow 6 months ago. Back down in trip but open to progress and well in the mix.

Form: 453-

Jaccours¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

16/1

Built on debut when fourth of 8 in bumper (7/2) at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 6 months ago, unsuited by way race developed. Considered hurdling debutant.

Form: 44-

Jumbo Mills

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D SkeltonWS

28/1

Kapgarde gelding. Dam, fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f-19f winner) Aflatoun. Has had a wind op but still highly respected on his debut for leading connections.

Form:

Jurancon²⁰³

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

13/8

Successful in Irish points and looked a good prospect when going 2-3 in bumpers at Hereford in March. Looks sure to go well again now sent hurdling.

Form: 5/1121-

The Kemble Brewery³³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| BF| D

5/6

Created a fine impression when going 2-2 in bumpers at Cheltenham but looked in need of the experience when failing to land the odds on his hurdles (2m) debut there, making mistakes before fading into third. Remains one to be firmly interested in returning for in-form yard.

Form: 1/13-

The Winslow Boy²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

80/1

Has shown promise in a bumper and a pair of 2m3f maiden hurdles at Hereford and Ascot. Off 6 months but remains with potential.

Form: 5/49-

Kap De Triomphe²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams| D

50/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in bumper at Naas in February. Changed hands for £55,000 subsequently and he's very much one to consider now going hurdling.

Form: 1-

Welcheston Warrier¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: C Boultbee-Brooks

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 11/1, eighth of 13 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut 174 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 8-

Bobbigrey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

150/1

Twice-raced maiden, much better effort when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 354

Forecasts

The Kemble Brewery (5/6), Jurancon (13/8), Hartington (11/1), Jaccours (16/1), Gasmani (16/1), Jumbo Mills (28/1), Saint Cyr De Pail (40/1), Kap De Triomphe (50/1), The Winslow Boy (80/1), Bobbigrey (150/1), Welcheston Warrier (200/1), Fan Magnet (250/1)

Plenty of these bring potential but Kim Bailey's THE KEMBLE BREWERY sets a very good standard so is taken to make light of a lengthy absence for a yard among the winners and add to his useful bumper successes. Jurancon has also looked a good prospect in bumpers and is next on the list, with fellow hurdling newcomers Kap de Triomphe and Jumbo Mills worthy of consideration too. Hartington and The Winslow Boy are two others who need factoring into this intriguing maiden hurdle.
