Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 4m 32.0s

Beau Gold¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

100/1

Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle during the winter. Early days but The Long Walk looks very much the stable first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form: 89-

Jefe Triunfo³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

28/1

Won on Worcester bumper debut in May 2023 but not seen again until down the field in bumpers at Huntingdon and Hereford this spring. Switches to hurdles with a bit to prove.

Form: 1/97-

Pillar The Poet²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Oliver Boyden⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

12/1

Modest form in bumpers/2 maiden hurdles. Probably more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 8/565-

The Long Walk³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

11/8

Fair form in bumpers and has run to a similar level in 2 hurdles this spring. This is a good deal easier than the Cheltenham novice he contested last time and likely to have a big say with improvement likely.

Form: 32636-

Two To Tango⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 106| BF

6/4

Fair maiden who placed yet again when third in 20.5f Plumpton handicap in March. Should be thereabouts once more but whether he can gain that elusive breakthrough win remains to be seen.

Form: 333253-

Roadshow^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 105

9/2

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France for Andre Fabre. Promise in maiden/novice hurdles for new yard this spring and looks capable of even better. Leading claims.

Form: 34-2

Forecasts

The Long Walk (11/8), Two To Tango (6/4), Roadshow (9/2), Pillar The Poet (12/1), Jefe Triunfo (28/1), Beau Gold (100/1)

ROADSHOW and The Long Walk look capable of better, with a narrow preference for the Paul Nicholls runner on the back of his Newton Abbot second earlier in the month.
