Bohemian Breeze¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: G & J Moore

5/2

Fair performer on Flat who showed aptitude for this discipline when third of 5 in C&D maiden (good) last month. Entitled to build on that and must enter calculations.

50/1

£15,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Our Pink Lady, stays 3m. Likely a longer-term prospect. Had wind operation.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

2/1

Offered some encouragement when fifth of 8 in novice at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft, 18/1) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Warrants respect.

Machete Beach²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| BF

10/3

Fairly useful Flat performer, scoring twice over 10f for Harry Charlton last year. Since joined new yard and must be taken seriously on hurdles debut.

Form:

Pergamon^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Candlish

14/1

Fair Flat winner in France who offered more than on debut for new yard when eighth in Thirsk handicap (12f) 19 days ago. Worth monitoring in market on switch to hurdling.

Form:

Ask Peter^t⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J HoneyballWS

4/1

Three-time winner on Flat for Charlie Johnston in 2023. Back from 17 months off when fifth of 10 in novice at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) on NH debut for new yard 66 days ago. Should be straighter for that run and warrants respect. Had wind operation.

Form: 5-

Run Joy Run^p⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: C Poulton

150/1

Been some time since he troubled the judge on the level and is best watched on debut over timber here.

Forecasts

Slade Shore (2/1), Bohemian Breeze (5/2), Machete Beach (10/3), Ask Peter (4/1), Pergamon (14/1), Mr Daytona (50/1), Liberty Looming (150/1), Run Joy Run (150/1)

Sean Bowen is an interesting booking for BOHEMIAN BREEZE, who ran with promise on his hurdles debut here last month. He gets the vote in the opener. Hurdling newcomer Machete Beach may provide the chief threat, particularly if the market speaks in his favour, whilst Ask Peter is also of interest.
