Conduit gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Clues And Arrows and modest hurdler/chaser Banna Beach, stayed 2¾m. Dam unraced. Easy winner sole start in Irish points in March 2023 but just modest form in a bumper 4 months later.

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to hurdler Shannon Gray. Dam ran once over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Beakstown. Bred for jumping but produced a promising first effort when a keeping-on second in a bumper here last month.

8/13
Good-ground point winner who landed the odds with a hood fitted on third bumper start at Fakenham in April. Represents top yard and has to be a major player on hurdles debut.

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 2m), operating bit below best when last seen. Has left Michael Appleby but has the raw ability to be a factor on hurdles debut.

9/1
Flat-bred gelding who got back on track following 10 months off when winning 5-runner bumper at Stratford in October, making all and quickening clear straight. Too free and on the retreat when falling on hurdles debut. Hood may help.

Third of 7 in a bumper at Carlisle in October and quickly switched to hurdling, he again displayed ability when fourth at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Expected to build on that.

Held back by inexperience in a Kempton bumper in February but, after 9 months off, he showed some promise sent hurdling when fifth of 12 in maiden at Leicester (20.5f) in November. Drop to 2m looked against him at Taunton since.

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f), successful at Lingfield last time. Stamina no issue now hurdling and he's one to consider.

Sister to bumper winner/useful 2¾m hurdle winner Shannon Royale. Minor promise on second of 2 starts in bumpers back in the spring for Georgina Nicholls but never dangerous both hurdles outings in recent weeks.

Forecasts

Bond Broker (8/13), Kapal Layar (3/1), Gore Point (9/1), Benmore (10/1), Les's Jersey Royal (18/1), Sharp Distinction (22/1), Educator (28/1), Shan't Wait (40/1), Alexandra Larose (40/1), Ballela Blaze (66/1), Zafaan (150/1), Dunstall Angel (200/1), Elite Etoile (200/1)

Verdict

BOND BROKER outclassed 6 rivals in a bumper at Fakenham when last seen in April and with, this sharp 2m in his favour now hurdling, he'll take a fair bit of stopping. Kapal Layar is open to improvement, with Benmore another to consider.
