Jack Hobbs gelding who was successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Jan 2024) but has been tailed-off last in a bumper/maiden hurdle. Tongue tie added to the hood worn last time but can only be watched after 4 months off (has had a wind op).
|
Bumper winner who was fair over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Safely held first 3 starts for new yard in handicap chases but returned to form back hurdling when third of 7 in first-time cheekpieces over this C&D 5 weeks ago. Considered back in maiden company.
|
Built on encouraging NH debut when winning bumper at Bangor last April. Folded tamely after 7 months off when pulled up in novice hurdle back at that venue in November and still looked in need of experience following a wind op at Kempton since. Way too soon to be writing him off.
|
Second of 4 on only start in Irish points and looked probably one for later on judged on his sixth of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Tongue tie on for this switch to hurdling.
|
Shaped much better than he had in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher after 7 months off when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter on hurdles bow in November and ridden in contrasting fashion, ran to a similar level back there just over 3 weeks later. Shouldn't be underestimated after a break.
|
Runner-up on his only start in points and fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers during first half of last year. Ran to only a modest level on hurdling debut at Kempton (21f, soft) recently, the way he got into contention promising more, but he's likely to better at some stage.
|
Built on mild debut promise when runner-up at Warwick last April and ran to a similar level when fourth at Southwell the following month, unable to make his experience edge count. Sent hurdling after 9 months off and the betting can guide expectations.
|
No promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Huge outsider.
|
£130,000 purchase after winning an Irish point. Confirmed himself a good prospect when winning a bumper at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in December 2023 and took a significant step forward when runner-up at Punchestown last May. Makes return and looks as a good-quality recruit to hurdling.
|
Hadn't shaped with a much encouragement in bumpers and was in need of the experience sent hurdling at Sedgefield recently. Watching brief advised.
|
Soldier of Fortune gelding who got off mark in points at fourth attempt (Mar 2024). Little encouragement to glean from his recent hurdles bow so looks an easy swerve.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat for David Loughnane and showed nothing on both starts over hurdles in recent months.
|
Forecasts
Queensbury Boy (4/9), Doctor Kildare (4/1), Bold Reaction (7/1), Icare Colombe (9/1), Little Big Kev (25/1), Special John (28/1), Luwdvig (40/1), Batsman (100/1), Garrantemple (100/1), Takes Time (400/1), Noble Recall (400/1), Smart Bucks (400/1)
Plenty of dead wood in this opening maiden and it could be best left to QUEENSBURY BOY, who confirmed himself an above-average prospect when finishing runner-up in a Punchestown bumper 10 months ago and rates as a good-quality recruit to hurdling for a yard really clicking into gear. Bold Reaction heads up the dangers after his third over C&D 5 weeks ago, with Icare Colombe and Doctor Kildare taken to fight out third.
