Badbury Rings¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: N P Mulholland

14/1

From a good jumps family and runner-up second (only completed) of 2 starts in points. Not knocked about on recent hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m, 14/1), looking one for the longer term.

Form: U22-36

High Fibre^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: H Fry

9/2

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m), turned out again quickly when well below form last time. From the family of useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Zanjabeel, so hope for him now jumping. Likely type.

Form:

Rangatira Jack¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 105

4/1

Fair form in novice/maiden hurdles last season, including over C&D. Handicaps over further will suit but returns in a winnable race and has place claims at the very least.

Form: 0/59432-

Tuxedo Junction¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

10/3

Didn't get home sent hurdling for new yard at Chepstow (2m), but had missed over a year since signing off a fairly useful Flat career for James Fanshawe and was better than the result. Entitled to improve and one to consider.

Form: 5

Yourawizardharry²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin

200/1

100/1, well held in similar event at Uttoxeter on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago.

Form: 0

Karaktere D'enfer²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: T Symonds| OR: 112

15/2

Close second to a useful sort in a newcomers race at Fontainebleau in March 2023 and more encouragement for this yard after 8 months off in 2m Uttoxeter maiden on return, considerately handled (reportedly had breathing problem). One to note.

Form: 2/34P-5

Moab⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight

14/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and showed some aptitude for hurdling at Worcester (2m) 3 months ago, mistake 2 out and fading.

Form: 4

Till You Can't⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins

200/1

Pulled up in point and little show in bumpers/maiden hurdle.

Form: P-558

Vaguely Royal¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: Anthony Charlton

6/1

Useful stayer on the Flat for the Gosden stable. 65,000 gns purchase and presumably needed the run sent hurdling after 4 months off here recently, fading out of third last. Turned out quickly and capable of better.

Form: 4

Woodstock City²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

18/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 10.5f), won at Ripon in August. Easy to back but in the process of showing some aptitude for hurdling when falling heavily 2 out at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago.

Form: F

Frenelope

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland

25/1

€50,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Gold Present. Yard in form and get first time out winners so she's worth a market check.

Form:

Golden Dove^h1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: Simon Earle

18/1

Fair on Flat (stays 1½m), fared best of those ridden prominently last time. Hood fitted for hurdles debut.

Form:

Lake's Aventurine¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin

150/1

Well held in bumpers and 2m Southwell maiden hurdle earlier this year. Looks one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 45-7

Missy Mole¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

80/1

Runner-up completed start in Irish points but 50/1 and well held in mares' hurdle at Chepstow on recent return. Drops in trip.

Form: F2-8

As Fast As Wind^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins

16/1

Fair maiden at best on the Flat in Ireland (stays 1½m) and caught the eye making late gains from an impossible position sent hurdling after 8 weeks off at Exeter recently. Headgear back on.

Form: 7

Sain Et Sauf¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: F Brennan

200/1

From the family of Protektorat but little impact in 3 point bumpers (latest May 27).

Form: 7-57

Forecasts

Tuxedo Junction (10/3), Rangatira Jack (4/1), High Fibre (9/2), Vaguely Royal (6/1), Karaktere D'enfer (15/2), Moab (14/1), Badbury Rings (14/1), As Fast As Wind (16/1), Woodstock City (18/1), Golden Dove (18/1), Frenelope (25/1), Missy Mole (80/1), Lake's Aventurine (150/1), Sain Et Sauf (200/1), Yourawizardharry (200/1), Till You Can't (200/1)

A trappy maiden that could go to TUXEDO JUNCTION, who shaped better than the result first time up over hurdles after 13 months off at Chepstow. Vaguely Royal is turned out quickly after a promising start in this sphere here last week and can improve also. Rangatira Jack, High Fibre and Karaktere d'Enfer complete the shortlist.
