Denzil²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

5/1

Disappointed in Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle at Wetherby earlier this month but had easily won a 3-runner event on debut at Stratford (16.3f) previously and must enter calculations.

Form: 16

Jackson's Bay

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

125/1

€4,000 3-y-o, Joshua Tree gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser My Manekineko, stayed 3¼m, and half-brother to 6 winners, including smart hurdler Marsh Warbler. Market check advised on debut.

Form:

Lenjoleur De Palma³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

6/1

Shaped encouragingly when third of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) on NH debut 38 days ago. Likely to improve and merits consideration.

Form: 3

Livingit Du Large

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

6/5

Nirvana Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Gua du Large, stays 2½m, and winning hurdler/chaser up to 25f in France Embrun du Large. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Form:

Romancier²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

25/1

Roman Candle gelding who was well supported for his Wetherby debut earlier this month but was brought down early on. This run should reveal more.

Form: B

Tashan³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

9/4

Only narrowly failed to make a winning debut in 5-runner juvenile hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) 38 days ago. Since joined Emma Lavelle and likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 2

Blossom Tea

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

28/1

Territories filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Fresh Perspective. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1½m. Could be a player on debut from shrewd yard.

Forecasts

Livingit Du Large (6/5), Tashan (9/4), Denzil (5/1), Lenjoleur De Palma (6/1), Romancier (25/1), Blossom Tea (28/1), Jackson's Bay (125/1)

TASHAN made a good start over hurdles at Hereford last month and is taken to make a winning debut for Emma Lavelle. Denzil looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Livingit Du Large may be the pick of the newcomers.
