Horse A-Z
Showed plenty in bumpers last season (first past the post on 2 of his 3 starts in that sphere) and encouraging start over hurdles when fourth of 15 in a 2½m Ffos Las maiden last time. Live each-way chance here with improvement on the cards.

20/1
Winning pointer who ran to a fair level when second of 8 in Worcester maiden hurdle in October 2022. However, hard to train since and ran a very tame race back at that venue in October.

Offered little in a small-field Doncaster bumper on debut 9 months ago. Has left Philip Kirby.

Dual point winner but he was beaten a long way starting out over hurdles at Ffos Las.

Successful on sole outing in bumpers and shaped with plenty of encouragement in finding only one too good switched to hurdling in 2m4f Carlisle novice last month, carrying head bit high but sticking to task. Open to improvement and has leading claims.

Has made a discouraging start to his career and easily passed over.

Made frame in points (pulled up last time) and shaped with a fair amount of promise when third of 13 in a hunter at Clonmel (21f, heavy) on chasing debut 11 months ago. Switches to hurdles on first run for yard after leaving W. J. Burke.

Placed both starts in points and shaped like the stayer he's bred to be when third in 11-runner maiden at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement.

Made frame both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 25) and showed a bit to work on when third in 11-runner novice at this course (16.7f) last month, taking third last. Should improve with the step up in trip likely to suit.

Fair bumper winner for Rod Millman who shaped as if needing the run with cheekpieces left off sent hurdling after 18 months off at Ffos Ls 23 days ago. This will reveal more.

Forecasts

Kevin's Pride (1/2), Skuna Bay (5/1), Theatre Tom (13/2), Alan De Banks (8/1), Edmond (16/1), Galassian (20/1), Ipsos Des Bordes (66/1), Hms Milo (80/1), Pulse Of Camelot (200/1), Our Jesse Boy (400/1)

Verdict

KEVIN'S PRIDE shaped with plenty of promise when sprinting away from a subsequent winner on his hurdling debut at Carlisle a month ago and should take a bit of stopping with improvement on the cards. Skuna Bay and Alan de Banks are feared most in that order.
