Chasingouttheblues²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

5/2

£22,000 purchase having finished placed all 4 starts in Irish points. Noted being outpaced before keeping on again when fifth of 10 in a Carlisle novice (17f, soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago and this increase in trip promises to suit. Worth a second look.

Form: 223-35

Danno's Dollar²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Walford

125/1

Little impact both starts in bumpers for Sandy Thomson and similar story in trio of hurdle starts for present yard. Can only be watched at present.

Form: 87P-70

Express Run⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: Justin Landy

7/2

Failed to justify support when down the field only start in bumpers but showed more of what he's about when second of 9 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. Will need to brush up his jumping, however.

Form: FF-62

Fairly Fulling^h¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs J Walton

100/1

Safely held all 3 starts in bumpers but did shape much better than distance beaten suggests on second start over timber when eleventh of 14 in a 2m novice here in June, faltering entering straight. Off since but handicaps likely to be more suitable moving forward.

Form: P49-790

Helsgetaway²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

5/2

Showed ability in bumpers and promising start in this sphere/after 6 months off when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) 23 days ago, outpaced before staying on gradually. Looks sure to improve for that initial experience.

Form: 523-7

Kidman²⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 102

4/1

Lightly-raced hurdler who improved when second of 4 in novice at Newcastle (22f) in November 2022. After a further 16 months off, shaped as if retaining his ability when fourth in a Kelso maiden in March, so worth a second look back from another 8 months off.

Form: 3332/4-

Red Sam^p1²⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M Walford

50/1

Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Discouraging start in pair of hurdle outings earlier this year, pulled up on both occasions. Passed over after 8 months off with cheekpieces reached for.

Form: PP-

Wee Alki⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett

66/1

Alkaadhem gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. 8/1, sixth of 11 in bumper at Perth (16.2f, good) on NH debut 83 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.

Form: 6

Authorized Mission²⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant

16/1

Authorized gelding who took small steps forward with each run for Iain Jardine, sixth of 11 in bumper at Ayr (2m) in April. Switched yards ahead of hurdles bow and interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Form: 066-

Shadowfax Of Rohan^h1⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond

22/1

In-the-frame all 3 starts in bumpers but below pick of form starting out for new yard when fourth of 11 in bumper at Perth (16.2f) in August. Hood goes on for hurdles debut and booking of Brian Hughes an obvious plus. Not discounted.

Form: 424

Forecasts

Chasingouttheblues (5/2), Helsgetaway (5/2), Express Run (7/2), Kidman (4/1), Authorized Mission (16/1), Shadowfax Of Rohan (22/1), Red Sam (50/1), Wee Alki (66/1), Fairly Fulling (100/1), Danno's Dollar (125/1)

HELSGETAWAY showed plenty to work on when finishing midfield on hurdles debut at Wetherby 23 days ago and with that experience unlikely to be lost on him, he can find the requisite improvement and come out on top. Hurdles-debutant Shadowfax of Rohan and Chasingouttheblues are others to consider, along with the returning Kidman.
