Fujita Scale²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Miss P Robson

80/1

Showed some ability on bumper debut here in May but failed to match that form at Ayr 6 months on.

Form: 44

Kingston Narcissus^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 107| BF

11/4

Fair and consistent maiden on Flat in France and similar form over hurdles, again going down only narrowly in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago. Should be firmly in the mix once again.

Form: 5422

Knight Of Magic^h,t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: C Grant

300/1

Poor maiden on the Flat who is yet to show anything in a bumper/pair of maiden hurdles.

Form: 0-P8

Maghlaak⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A Keatley

8/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who offered little encouragement when last of 4 on recent Cheltenham hurdle debut. Should do better.

Form: 4

Mr Escobar^h⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| BF

1/3

Useful handicapper on Flat who is something of a ticking timebomb in terms of temperament but did little wrong when thwarted only by a stablemate at Listowel in September and not disgraced back on the level since. Sets a clear standard.

Form: 5R2

Paddys Policy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

22/1

£45,000 buy after finishing runner-up only outing in Irish points but shaped with little promise in a Bangor bumper on Rules debut 4 weeks ago.

Form: 2-5

Tan Law²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd

200/1

Malinas gelding. Pulled up sole start in points and showed nothing sent hurdling at Ayr 24 days ago.

Form: P-0

Myfavouritesister¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: G Sheehan| T: P Neville

40/1

Little form in 3 bumpers and made an unpromising start over hurdles at this course 12 days ago.

Form: 55-05

Royal Romance²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Robson

300/1

No impact in bumpers/maiden hurdle.

Form: 09P

She's Got Bottle⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan

33/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), successful twice in 2024, below form last time. Could have a future in this sphere.

Form:

Tres Bien¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

150/1

Showed a bit when third in a Newton Abbot bumper on debut but has gone sharply downhill since, pulled up all 3 starts over hurdles, including on the back of a breathing operation last time.

Form: 4-35PPP

Forecasts

Mr Escobar (1/3), Kingston Narcissus (11/4), Maghlaak (8/1), Val Bassett (12/1), Paddys Policy (22/1), She's Got Bottle (33/1), Myfavouritesister (40/1), Fujita Scale (80/1), Tres Bien (150/1), Tan Law (200/1), Knight Of Magic (300/1), Royal Romance (300/1)

MR ESCOBAR is something of a ticking timebomb in terms of temperament but did little wrong when thwarted only by a stablemate at Listowel on his most recent outing in this sphere in September and sets a pretty high standard. Kingston Narcissus is likely to give his running once again, while Maghlaak should do better in this sphere at some stage given his fairly useful Flat form.
